If you need a port or protocol that is not covered by one of the predefined protocols, you can create a custom protocol that can be used with a service.
Navigate to to display the list of user-defined protocols created in the system in the object list.
Here you can add a new user-defined protocol or edit an existing user-defined protocol.
You can configure the following elements in the Protocol editing window:
| Input field | Description |
|---|---|
| Protocol Number |
A protocol number from 0 to 255 can be selected. The suggested values correspond to those of the IANA.
Protocol numbers that have already been used are not displayed. However, they can be used again by entering
the number directly. If a known protocol is used, the name is automatically suggested. All other protocol
numbers are marked as user-defined protocols and the name is not automatically pre-filled.

| Name | Accept the suggested name or enter your own name for this user-defined protocol. |
The buttons at the bottom right of the editing field depend on whether you are adding a new custom protocol or editing an existing one. For a newly configured custom protocol, click Create to add it to the list of available protocols or Cancel to discard your changes. To edit an existing custom protocol, click Save to save the custom protocol or Reset to discard your changes. You can click Close to close the editing window as long as no changes have been made in it.
The user-defined protocols defined here are available for use in user-defined services.
