Creating a protocol group

Create a protocol group to combine well-known TCP/UDP ports, protocols, and protocol-specific message types (for example, ICMP message types), into sets that you can easily add to expert rules. For example, you might create a group including POP3 and IMAP4 protocols in order to simplify the administration of your rules regarding e-mail traffic.

To create a Protocol group:

  1. Select COMPUTER | Advanced Firewall | Settings | Expert Rules Rules, then click Groups.

    The Group Manager dialog appears.

  2. Select Protocols, then click Add.

    The Add Protocol Group dialog appears.

  3. Specify the name and description of the Protocols group, then click Add.

    The Add Protocol dialog appears.

  4. Select a protocol type from the Protocol drop-down list
  5. Depending on the protocol type you chose, do one of the following:
