Managing Service Groups

Quantum Spark 1500, 1600 and 1800 Appliance Series R80.20.40 Locally Managed Administration Guide | 271

To filter for a specified service group:

1. In the

Type to filter

box, enter the service group name or part of it.

2. As you enter text, the list is filtered and shows matching results.

Built-in System Service Groups

Some built-in service groups represent Check Point's ability to perform deep inspection of a specific
protocol. Such system service groups cannot be deleted. They contain a list of built in services which you
can restore if you edit the content of such groups by clicking

Reset

.

Some system service groups have additional configuration which affect the way the deep inspection is
performed.

DNS

- The Firewall settings tab lets you configure NAT support over DNS. Note that this option affects the

performance of DNS traffic and is normally not needed unless your organization uses both NAT and an
internal DNS server accessible to the Internet. The IPS settings tab lets you configure how and when DNS
deep inspection is performed. Select the relevant options.
