FVS338 ProSafe VPN Firewall 50 Reference Manual . Figure 4-12 Adding Customized Services Services are functions performed by server computers at the request of client computers. You can configure up to 125 custom services. For example, Web servers serve Web pages, time servers serve time and date information, and game hosts serve data about other players' moves. When a computer on the Internet sends a request for service to a server computer, the requested service is identified by a service or port number. This number appears as the destination port number in the transmitted IP packets. For example, a packet that is sent with destination port number 80 is an HTTP (Web server) request. The service numbers for many common protocols are defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and published in RFC1700, "Assigned Internet Protocol Numbers." Service numbers for other applications are typically chosen from the range 1024 to 65535 by the authors of the application. Although the FVS338 already holds a list of many service port numbers, you are not limited to these choices. Use the Services menu to add additional services and applications to the list for use in defining firewall rules. The Services menu shows a list of services that you have defined, as shown in Figure 4-13. Firewall Protection and Content Filtering v1.0, March 2009 4-17
