16.3.1 Definition of Services
Services are defined at Network>Inbound Access>Services.
Tip
At least one server must be defined before services can be added.
To define a new service, click the Add Service button, upon which the following menu
appears:
Services Settings
Enable
This setting specifies whether the inbound service rule takes effect.
When Yes is selected, the inbound service rule takes effect. If the inbound traffic matches the
specified IP protocol and port, action will be taken by the Peplink Balance based on the other
parameters of the rule.
When No is selected, the inbound service rule does not take effect. The Peplink Balance will
disregard the other parameters of the rule.
Service Name
This setting identifies the service to the system administrator. Only alphanumeric and the
underscore “_” characters are valid.
IP Protocol
The IP Protocol setting, along with the Port setting, specifies the protocol of the service as
TCP, UDP, ICMP, or IP. Inbound traffic that matches the specified IP Protocol and Port(s)
will be forwarded to the LAN hosts specified by the Servers setting.
Upon choosing a protocol, the Protocol Selection Tool drop-down menu can be used to
automatically the port information of common Internet services (e.g. HTTP, HTTPS, etc.).
After selecting an item from the Protocol Selection Tool drop-down menu, the protocol and
the port number will remain manually modifiable.
