Service type

In chart view, you can select to view the network traffic by either Service Type, or Port.

Service Type is used to categorize several ports under one service. For example, port numbers 80, 443, and 8080 are included in the Web service type.

There are several predefined service types:

• Web: Ports 80, 443, and 8080.

• FTP: Ports 20, 21, 989, and 990.

• SSH: Port 22.

• Telnet: Ports 23 and 992.

• Mail: Ports 25, 110, 143, 220, 993 and 995.

• DNS: Port 53.

• IRC: Ports 194 and 994.

• RSYNC: Ports 873.

You can add and remove ports from the predefined service port types, and you can also define your own service types. This is done at the device level, or as part of a configuration. For example, in a configuration, to define a service type called "MyService" using ports 9000 and 9001:

1. From the main menu, click  Insights >  Reports.
2. Monitoring > intelliFlow.
3. Click to expand Ports.
4.  to add a port.
5. Label is optional.
6. For Port number, type 9000.
7. For Service name, type MyService.
8. Click  to add a another port.
9. For Port number, type 9001.
10. For Service name, type MyService.

IntelliFlow is also available on the local device for device-specific visualization of network use. To use intelliFlow on the local device, you must have access to the local WebUI. By default, intelliFlow is disabled on the local device.
