Service elements
Service elements are used in Access rules to match traffic and to set parameters for handling the traffic.
There are predefined system Service elements for official (IANA-reserved) and well-known protocols and services (such as DNS, FTP, and HTTP). You can also create your own custom Service elements to specify a port that is not predefined or to define custom options for handling some types of traffic.
