Service Group List

A service group is a set of services that you assembled together under one name. Once you create a group containing several services, you can then apply services at the group level to policies, thus simplifying administration.

The Service Group option has the following features:

• Each service group entry can be referenced by one or more service groups.

• Each service group can contain pre-defined and user-defined Service Book entries.

• Each service group can be referenced by other service groups, providing that a group referencing other groups does not include itself in the reference list.

• Service groups are subject to the following limitations:

• Service groups cannot have the same names as services. Therefore, if you have a service named "FTP," you cannot have a service group named "FTP".

• If a service group is referenced in a policy, you can edit the group but you cannot remove it until you have first removed the reference to it in the policy.

• If a custom Service Book entry is deleted from the Service Book, the entry is also removed from all the groups in which it was referenced.

• The static service ANY cannot be added to groups.

• A service can be part of only one group at a time.
