Configuring Application Groups
Application groups are pairing of IP addresses or network IDs and application services. More than one pairing can be configured within each group. Once defined, the groups are referenced in access rules. The following types of pairings can be created in a group:
Network and one or more application services – Each IP address within the network is paired with the services defined in the pairing. This is useful in allowing or blocking network-wide access to service ports when creating access rules.
IP address and one or more application services – The services are paired to the IP address. This is useful in allowing or blocking access to specific service ports on a host when creating access rules.
