Understanding and Specifying Services and Service and Port List Objects

Configuring Service Objects

Use the Add and Edit Service dialog boxes to create or edit service objects. You can create a service

object to describe a type of traffic carried by the devices in your network. When creating a service object,

you must specify the protocol used by the service.

When you create a service object, you must choose the object type:

•Service Group—Can contain one or more services, including other service objects. This is the type

of service object available in all Security Manager 3.x releases.

•Service object—Can contain a single service.

Security Manager provides many predefined service group objects. Before creating an object, scan the

list in the Policy Object Manager to see if an existing object fits your needs. Note that although you can

duplicate a predefined object, you cannot edit it.

Navigation Path

Select Manage > Policy Objects, then select Services > Services from the Object Type Selector.

Right-click inside the work area and select New Object (and select an object type) or right-click a row

and select Edit Object.
