Figure 6.16 Traffic rule — setting a service
Use the Any button to replace all de���ned items with the Any item (this item is also used
by default for all new rules). Whenever at least one new service is added, the Any value
removed automatically.
Use the Remove button to remove all items defined (the Nothing value will be displayed in
the item list). Whenever at least one service is added, the Nothing value will be removed
automatically. If the Nothing value is kept in the Service column, the rule is disabled.
The Nothing value is important for removal of services (see chapter 12.3). The Nothing
value is automatically used for the Service item of rules where a removed service has
been used. Thus, all these rules are disabled. Inserting the Nothing value manually is
not meaningful —a checking box in the Name column can be used instead.
Note: If a protocol inspector of the particular protocol is used in the service definition,
the inspector is automatically applied to this service’s traffic. If desired to bypass the
protocol inspector for certain traffic, it is necessary to define this exception in the par-
ticular traffic rule. For detailed information, see chapter 23.4.
