Defining custom services
Server Objects > Service > Custom enables you to configure custom services.
Predefined services are available for standard IANA port numbers for HTTP and HTTPS
(see“Predefined services” on page 275). If your virtual server will receive traffic on non-standard
port numbers, however, you must define your custom service.
To configure a custom service
1. Go to Server Objects > Service > Custom.
To access this part of the web UI, your administrator’s account access profile must have
Read and Write permission to items in the Server Policy Configuration category. For details,
see “Permissions” on page 47.
2. Click Create New.
A dialog appears.
3. In Name, type a name that can be referenced by other parts of the configuration. Do not use
spaces or special characters. The maximum length is 35 characters.
4. In Port, type the port number of the service (by definition of HTTP and HTTPS, only TCP is
available).
The port number must be unique among your custom and predefined services. The valid
range is from 0 to 65,535.
