Services

Web cache services define one or more protocols and port numbers associated with each service. Web cache policies use service definitions to match session types. You can organize related services into service groups to simplify your policy list.

If you need to create a web cache policy for a service that is not in the predefined service list, you can add a custom service. Custom services are configured in Policy & Objects > Services.

Hover over the leftmost edge of the column heading to display the Configure Table icon, which you can use to select the columns to display or to reset all the columns to their default settings. You can also drag column headings to change their order.

The following options are available:

Create New
