Service Groups
To use a protocol in a rule, you must associate it with a service group and then use that service group in
the rule. The protocols in the service group indicate the kinds of traffic the rule controls.
Service groups serve several functions:
■
Service groups let you organize access rights. For example, you can create one service group with
only FTP enabled, another with FTP, Telnet, and HTTP access, and a third with full access. You can
then create rules that allow varying degrees of access as appropriate.
■
You can configure settings for the protocols and apply them to the service group. These settings are
specific to the service group, letting you set different properties for the same protocol as it is used
in different service groups.
You can create a service group before creating the rule, or create the service group as you create the
rule.
Service Group Properties—General tab
A service group is a protocol or a group of protocols that define the type of traffic controlled by the
rule. To create a rule, you must assign protocols to a service group.
