Service Name – A human-readable name to identify the service alias. Default
service aliases begin with “svc-“ followed by the protocol name. This
convention may be used if desired, or a new one may be used.
Protocol – Services can be defined by TCP port numbers, UDP port numbers,
or IP protocol number. If a particular service can operate over both TCP and
UDP, create two separate services aliases.
Starting Port – For TCP or UDP services, specifies the lower port number of a
port range. To specify a single port, enter the same number in both the starting
and ending field.
End Port – For TCP or UDP services, specifies the upper port number of a port
range. To specify a single port, enter the same number in both the starting and
ending field.
The equivalent CLI configuration for the example above is:
netservice svc-newservice tcp 1024 1026
Source/Destination Aliases
Source and destination aliases aid in policy configuration by applying a
human-readable label to IP addresses and groups of IP addresses.
Source/destination aliases are used in traffic policies to specify either the
source of a packet or the destination of a packet. To manage
source/destination aliases, navigate to
