Adding or editing a custom protocol

On the Web > Protocols > Protocol Details page, use the following steps to define or modify a custom protocol:

Enter or modify the unique protocol name. Use only alphanumeric characters.

Select a group from the drop-down list (default value is User Defined).

Click Add to display the Add Protocol Identifier dialog box, or click an existing Port/Range link to display the Edit Protocol Identifier in dialog box.

Specify the following details:

Ports: You can select All ports or Specific port/range (default selection) to indicate a single port or port range. Separate the components of a port range with a hyphen.

IP addresses: You can select All IP addresses or Specific IP address/range (default selection) to indicate a single IP address or address range. Separate the components of an address range with a hyphen.

Transport method: Select either TCP or UDP.

Transmission control protocol (TCP) is slower than UDP but provides reliable, ordered data delivery. User datagram protocol (UDP) is stateless and therefore faster than TCP, but it can be unreliable.

Click OK. Your identifiers appears in the Protocol Identifier list.

Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each additional identifier that you want to define or modify.

Click Save.

To delete a protocol identifier, select it in the list and click Delete.
