CHAPTER 8 Configuring Services

The Services Arena of Policy Manager displays an icon for each configured service. A service represents a particular type of proxy or packet-filtering connection such as FTP, SMTP, or proxied HTTP. A symbol next to the service indicates whether the service is configured for outgoing traffic, incoming traffic, or both. Services with no symbol are not active.

The Firebox System includes many well-known service types. You can also add unique or custom services. This feature accommodates new TCP/IP services as they are developed.

Adding an existing service

Add an existing, well-known service using the Services dialog box. From Policy Manager:

1On the toolbar, click the Add Services icon (it appears as a plus sign (+)).

You can also select Edit => Add Service.

2Click to select a service from the list of available services.

You can expand the tree to display all available services. When you click a service, the service icon appears in the dialog box, on the right side. Also, a Details box displays basic information about the service. For more information about individual services, see the “Types of Services” Appendix in the Reference Guide.

3Click Add.

4In the Comments text box, enter comments or a description of this version of the
