Defining Services

A service definition provides a mapping between a service defined in application layer terms and the protocol and ports used. A number of services are pre-defined in the file /opt/SUNWconn/ba/lib/services.def. You do not need to carry out any configuration to use these services. "Configuration Examples" shows the pre-defined classes.

Figure 5-4 Services Window

The Services Lists in the left hand column display all the currently configured services. The configurable parameters for user defined services are:

• Service Name

  New services are created with the temporary name new. To change this name, type a new name in the Service Name field and click Apply.

• Protocol

  Choose one of TCP, UDP, Other or Any.

• Local and Remote Port.

• Other

  Specify the protocol you want to use here.

  You need only complete this field if you specified Other in the Protocol field.

To add port information:

1. From the Services List, select the service you want to add port information to.

   The service is highlighted. The ports currently used by the service are displayed in the TCP/UDP panel.

2. In the TCP/ UDP panel, double-click in the empty line below the last address entry. Complete both the Local and Remote port columns.

   The text editing mode starts, indicated by a cursor in the empty line.

3. Type the ports you want to include in the Service.

   Use an asterisk (*) to indicate any port.

4. Click Apply.

   The port information is added to the service.
