CHAPTER 8 Configuring Filtered Services
You add filtered services–in addition to proxied services–to control and
monitor the flow of IP packets through the Firebox. Services can be
configured for outgoing and incoming traffic, and they can be active or
inactive. When you configure a service, you set the allowable traffic end
points and determine the filter rules and policies for each of these
services. You can also create services to customize rule sets, destinations,
protocols, ports used, and other parameters. With both packet filters and
proxies, you can determine which hosts within your LAN and on the
Internet can communicate with each other through that protocol, which
events to log (such as rejected incoming packets), and which series of
events should initiate a notification of the network administrator.
For information on the different types of services available, see Chapter 3,
“Types of Services,” in the Reference Guide. For information specifically on
proxied services, see Chapter 9, “Configuring Proxied Services,” in this
manual. See also the Services FAQ on the WatchGuard Web site:
