Firewall configuration

Providing access to custom services

Add a custom service if you need to create a policy for a service that is not in the
predefined service list.

1

Go to Firewall > Service > Custom.

2

Select New.

3

Enter a Name for the service. This name appears in the service list used when you
add a policy.
The name can contain numbers (0-9), uppercase and lowercase letters (A-Z, a-z), and
the special characters - and _. Other special characters and spaces are not allowed.

4

Select the Protocol (either TCP or UDP) used by the service.

5

Specify a Source and Destination Port number range for the service by entering the
low and high port numbers. If the service uses one port number, enter this number in
both the low and high fields.

6

If the service has more than one port range, select Add to specify additional protocols
and port ranges.
If you mistakenly add too many port range rows, select Delete

to remove each

extra row.

7

Select OK to add the custom service.
You can now add this custom service to a policy.

Grouping services

To make it easier to add policies, you can create groups of services and then add one
policy to provide or block access for all the services in the group. A service group can
contain predefined services and custom services in any combination. You cannot add
service groups to another service group.
