Configuring a User-defined Service and Predefined Service

This section describes how to configure a user-defined service and predefined service.

Creating a User-defined Service

To create a user-defined service, take the following steps:

  1. Select Objects > Service Book from the menu bar.
  2. In the Service Book dialog, click New and select Service from the drop-down list.
  3. In the Service Configuration dialog, type the name for the user-defined service into the Name box.
  4. If needed, type the description for the service into the Description box.
  5. Click Add, and configure the options for the service entry in the Add members section.
  6. Specify a protocol type for the user-defined service. The available options include TCP, UDP, ICMP and Others. The parameters for the protocol types are described as follows:
    TCP/UDP
    • Dst port: Min specifies the minimum port number of the specified service entry; Max specifies the maximum port number of the specified service entry. The value range is 0 to 65535.
    • Src port: Min specifies the minimum port number of the specified service entry; Max specifies the maximum port number of the specified service entry. The value range is 0 to 65535.
    • Application type: Specifies a type for the service entry.
    • Timeout: Specifies a timeout for the service entry. The value range is 1 to 65535 seconds, or 1 to 100 days. If no timeout is specified, system will use protocol's default value. For TCP, the default value is 1800 seconds; for UDP, the default value is 60 seconds.

    ICMP
    • Type: Specified a ICMP type for the service entry. The value range is 3 (Destination-Unreachable), 4 (Source Quench), 5 (Redirect), 8 (Echo), 11 (Time Exceeded), 12 (Parameter Problem), 13 (Timestamp) and 15 (Information).
    • Min code: Specifies a minimum value for ICMP code. The value range is 0 to 5.
    • Max code: Specifies a maximum value for ICMP code. The value range is 0 to 5.
    • Timeout: Specifies a timeout for the service entry. The value range is 1 to 65535 seconds. If no timeout is specified, system will use ICMP protocol's default value of 6 seconds.

    Others
    • Protocol: Specifies a protocol number for the service entry. The value range is 1 to 255.
    • Timeout: Specifies a timeout for the service entry. The value range is 1 to 65535 seconds, or 1 to 100 days.
  7. Click OK to save your settings and add the configured service entry to the service list below.
  8. If needed, repeat Step 5 to Step 7 to add more service entries. To delete a service entry, select the entry you want to delete from the service list, and click Delete.
  9. Click OK to save your settings.

Editing/Deleting a User-defined Service

To edit/delete a user-defined service, take the following steps:

  1. Select Objects > Service Book from the menu bar.
  2. In the list on the left, select All Userdefined Service, and all the user-defined service will be displayed in the list on the right.
  3. Select the service you want to edit/delete, and click Edit/Delete.

Editing a Predefined Service

You can view or use all the supported predefined services and edit their TCP timeout, but you cannot delete any of them. To edit a predefined service, take the following steps:

  1. Select Objects > Service Book from the menu bar.
  2. In the list on the left, select All Predefined Service, and all the predefined service will be displayed in the list on the right.
  3. Select a service from the list, and click Edit. In the Edit Service dialog, edit TCP timeout for the predefined service.
