Creating service groups

You configure service group objects when you have more than one service you want to specify in a rule that matches service. You can group all Web services and group all mail services, for example, if you want to have rules that treat those as groups.

The following policies use service groups:

• Link load balancing policies

Basic Steps

1. Create service objects.
2. Configure service group objects. You can add up to 256 members in a group.
3. Select the service groups when you configure your policies.

Before you begin:

• You must have Read-Write permission for System settings.

To configure a service group:

1. Go to Shared Resources > Service.
2. Click Service Group.
3. Click Create New to display the configuration editor.
4. Complete the configuration as described in Service Group configuration.
5. Save the configuration.
