The PROTOCOL DEFINITIONS menu
This page is used to define the protocols and ports used in the Service Management filters. Each entry is
given a name which is used in the SERVICE MANAGEMENT FILTER TABLE.
The definition can either be a range of UDP ports for UDP IP packets, a range of TCP ports for TCP IP
packets, or any other IP protocol. The IP PROTO field defines which IP protocol the packet is for. This is a
decimal value for the IP protocol field in the received packet. Three special values of TCP, UDP, ICMP are
available for common protocols. If a value other than TCP or UDP is entered, nothing else needs to be
configured for the entry. If TCP or UDP (or the corresponding IP protocol number) is entered, a range of
source and destination ports must be specified for the protocol definition. The range consists of a
minimum and maximum (inclusive) decimal port number. The value ANY may be used to indicate the
range does not matter for a particular entry. A single page of up to 14 protocol definitions is allowed.
NOTE: If a protocol definition that is in use in the SERVICE MANAGEMENT FILTER TABLE is
deleted then any entries in the SERVICE MANGEMENT FILTER TABLE that reference the deleted
protocol entry are also deleted.
