Service Definition

A service definition provides a mapping between a service defined in application layer terms and the protocol and ports used. This includes control protocols such as PIM, RSVP, and IGMP. A number of services are pre-defined in the file /opt/SUNWconn/ba/lib/services.def. "Complete Configuration" shows the pre-defined services.

Format

service   name
          protocol   protocol
          ports      local_port,remote_port

• name is the name of the service

• protocol can be either the ANY keyword or any protocol defined in the /etc/protocols file.

• local_port and remote_port are the source and destination ports used by the service, separated by a comma. Use an asterisk (*) to indicate any port. You can specify any number of ports keywords and pairs of ports.

  Note -

  To avoid confusion, the adjectives local and remote refer to the same servers or ports regardless of the direction of the traffic. local refers to the server on which Solaris Bandwidth Manager resides, and remote is the rest of the network. In the case of an IP transparent configuration of Solaris Bandwidth Manager, local refers to the LAN-side, and remote refers to the WAN-side.

          ports      *,2023
          ports      *,2024
