Configure a Network Service Alias Profile

A Network Service Alias consists of protocol and port mapping configurations. Both source and destination ports are configurable. For each protocol, up to two (2) source port ranges and up to two (2) destination port ranges can be configured. A maximum of four (4) protocol entries can be configured per network service alias.

Use a service alias to associate more than one IP address to a network interface, providing multiple connections to a network from a single IP node.

Go to Profiles <select a device profile> Network > Alias > Network Service Alias.
Select to add a Network Service alias.
Assign a Name for the alias in the range 1 – 32 characters.

Note

The Network Group Alias name always starts with a dollar sign ($).

Select Add to add an Entry and configure the parameters as described in Network Service Alias.
