Configure custom protocols

Important: This feature requires an I Series appliance.

The Policy Management > Protocols page provides a list of the protocol groups in the cloud service database. Each protocol group includes similar types of Internet protocols (like FTP or IRC) and applications (like MSN Messenger or BitTorrent). The database of protocol groups is updated regularly. These protocols cannot be edited or deleted.

You can also add, edit, or delete custom protocols on the Protocols page. Custom protocols are available to all policies.

  • Use the Search field to search for a particular protocol or group in the protocols list.
  • To define a new custom protocol, click Add. See Adding or editing a custom protocol for instructions.
  • To modify a custom protocol, select it in the list and click Edit. See Adding or editing a custom protocol for instructions.
  • To remove a custom protocol, select it in the list and click Delete.
