Create a port List

You can create a port list that contains one or more service ports. The new port list can be referenced later when modifying or creating a rule list.

  1. On the Main tab, click Shared Objects > Port Lists.

  2. Click Create.

  3. In the Name and Description fields, type a name and optional description.

  4. In the Ports field, type the service port number. For example, 22 for the SSH service.

  5. Click the Add button.

  6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to continue adding Ports to the Port List.

  7. Click Finished, or Repeat to create another shared Port List.

The new port list appears in Port Lists area.

Next, you can create a firewall schedule to enable firewall rules during certain hours of the day or days of the week.
