This page enables you to create, modify, and delete IP Protocol Groups. IP Protocol Groups are a selection of one or more known or custom protocols that can be managed as a set by an IPsec Policy. Once an IP Protocol Group is configured, it is available for selection on the IPsec Policies page in CentreWare IS. For more information about IPsec, see the IPsec Policies Help.

Creating Groups

To create a new group, click Create Group at the bottom of the page. A page displays where you can enter a unique Group Name, Description, and select at least one of the supported Protocols to be added to the group. A maximum of 100 groups can be configured. After you have configured the list of IP Protocol Groups, and before you exit the page, click Apply at the bottom of the page to save the new groups and commit them to the IPsec Policy database.

Note: You must click Apply at the bottom of the page before you exit to save any changes and commit them to the IPsec Policy database.

Name can be 64 characters in length maximum. Description can be 256 characters in length maximum. Name is required, and both Name and Description cannot contain the following special characters:
" ' & ? + = < > / \

Modifying Groups

To view or modify a group, click the Name of the group. You can sort the list of groups by Name or Description by clicking the column titles.

Note: Changing the default ports of any protocol service will invalidate rules based on that service.

Deleting Groups

To delete a group, select the check box next to the group you want to delete, and then click Delete Group at the bottom of the page. Any protocol group that is being used in an IPsec Policy cannot be deleted.

10 groups display per page. Navigate through multiple pages to locate a group by clicking the left or right arrows, or click the drop-down box to select a particular page to display.
