Example: Service category

Add a new category to the list of Service Categories

You plan on adding a number of devices such as web cameras that will allow the monitoring of the physical security of your datacenter. A number of non-standard services will have to be created and you would like to keep them grouped together under the heading of “Surveillance”

Go to Policy & Objects > Objects > Services and select Create New > Category.
Fill out the fields with the following information

Name	Surveillance
Comments	For DataCenter Surveillance Devices

Select OK.
Enter the following CLI command:

config firewall service category

Edit Surveillance

Set comment “For DataCenter Surveillance Devices”

end

To verify that the category was added correctly:

Go to Policy & Objects > Objects > Services. Select the Category Settings icon . A listing of the categories should be displayed.
Enter the following CLI command:

config firewall service category

show

This should bring up all of the categories. Check to see that the new one is displayed.
