Security Policy Guide 23.2

Create a Service

When you create a rule, you can select a service to indicate the allowed communication between workloads and other entities.

When you create a service, that service becomes available to use in a rule.

For a list of the types of services you can create, see Service Types.

To create a service from the Services page:

  1. From the PCE web console menu, choose Policy Objects > Services.

  2. On the Services page, click Add.

  3. Enter the service a name and description (optional).

  4. Under Attributes, choose whether you want to create a port-based or Windows service-based service.

  5. In the Port and/or Protocol section, click Add and enter the ports, using a space to separate them from the protocol. To enter a range, separate the port numbers by a hyphen. You can also copy and paste lists of services from another source here.

  6. When the service uses any UDP ports, enter them as well.

  7. Click Save.
