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:
From the PCE web console menu, choose Policy Objects > Services.
Click Add.
Enter the service a name and description (optional).
Under Attributes, choose whether you want to create a port-based or Windows service-based service.
In the Port and/or Protocol section, click Add and enter the ports, using a space to separate them from the protocol. If you want to enter a range, separate the port numbers by a hyphen. You can also copy and paste lists of services here from another source.
When the service uses any UDP ports, enter them as well.
Click Save.
To create a service from the Ruleset page:
To make rule writing easier, you can create a new service in a ruleset as you are writing rules.
Note
The service is not associated with the ruleset.
Create an extra-scope or an intra-scope rule. (See the "Rule Writing" topic.)
In the Select Service field, choose Create Service at the end of the list.
