How to Define Well-Known IDs


You can edit the pre-defined list of well-known identifiers (IDs) used when creating Policy Manager rules in the Pre-Defined Well-Known IDs window. You can define a new ID for a TCP/UDP port number (Layer 4 Application Transport traffic classification type) or for an IP Protocol Type (Layer 3 Network traffic classification type). Once defined, these IDs are available for selection from the list of well-known values when defining the rule's traffic classification type.

Use the following instructions to add, remove, or change IDs on the pre-defined list:

  1. Select Edit > Pre-Defined Well-Known IDs from the menu bar. The Pre-Defined Well-Known IDs window opens.
  2. Select the IP Protocol tab to define an ID that maps to an IP protocol, or select the Port tab to define an ID that maps to a TCP/UDP port protocol.

    Adding a new Well-Known ID

    1. Enter the Port Number or IP Protocol and an associated Protocol ID.
    2. Click Add. The new ID appears in the table.

    Removing a Well-Known ID

    1. In the table, select the ID(s) that you wish to remove. You can make multiple consecutive selections by holding the left mouse button while swiping the mouse pointer over the table rows or by holding the Shift key while clicking. Hold the Control key while clicking to make non-consecutive selections.
    2. Click Remove. The selected IDs are deleted from the table.

    Changing a Well-Known ID
    First remove the ID, then add it with the desired changes.
