Chapter13 Configuring Objects
Configuring Objects and Groups
Adding a Service Object Group
To add or change a service object group, perform the steps in this section. After you add the group, you
can add more objects as required by following this procedure again for the same group name and
specifying additional objects. You do not need to reenter existing objects; the commands you already set
remain in place unless you remove them with the no form of the command.
Detailed Steps
Example
To create service groups that include DNS (TCP/UDP), LDAP (TCP), and RADIUS (UDP), enter the
following commands:
hostname (config)# object-group service services1 tcp-udp
hostname (config-service)# description DNS Group
hostname (config-service)# port-object eq domain
hostname (config)# object-group service services2 udp
hostname (config-service)# description RADIUS Group
hostname (config-service)# port-object eq radius
Command Purpose
Step1 object-group service grp_id {tcp | udp |
tcp-udp}
Example:
hostname(config)# object-group service
services1 tcp-udp
Adds a service group.
The object keyword adds an additional object to the
service object group.
The grp_id is a text string up to 64 characters in
length and can be any combination of letters, digits,
and the following characters:
underscore “_”
dash “-”
period “.”
Specify the protocol for the services (ports) you
want to add with either the tcp, udp, or tcp-udp
keywords. Enter the tcp-udp keyword if your
service uses both TCP and UDP with the same port
number, for example, DNS (port53).
The prompt changes to service configuration mode.
Step2 description text
Example:
hostname(config-service)# description DNS
Group
(Optional) Adds a description. The description can
be up to 200 characters.
Step3 port-object {eq port | range begin_port
end_port}
Example:
hostname(config-service)# port-object eq
domain
Defines the ports in the group. Enter the command
for each port or range of ports. For a list of permitted
keywords and well-known port assignments, see the
“Protocols and Applications” section on page B-11.
