Managing System Services
The Users & Objects > Services page lists the system services configured in the system. In
this page you can add new services, edit services, and delete services.
You use service objects to easily define the different network protocols. This is usually with IP
protocol and ports (used by the TCP and UDP IP protocols).
These objects can be used to define your security policy, as well as policy based routing rules.
Many service objects are predefined with the system and cannot be deleted. Those predefined
"system services" represent the appliance's ability to perform deep inspection on those
services for connectivity and security reasons. The system services sometimes have
additional configuration options.
To create a new service:
1. Click New.
2. In the Service tab, enter information in the fields that apply to the type of service you
select. Note that not all fields may show:

UDP.

the Type field you selected ICMP.
