<h1 class="topictitle1">Define addresses and services</h1>
<div><p>When you create packet rules, you must specify the IP addresses
and services to which you want the rules to apply.</p>
<div class="section"><p>Defined addresses are interface specifications that have been
given symbolic names. You should define addresses when the address you want
to represent is a range of addresses, a subnet, a list of point-to-point identifiers,
or a list of non-contiguous addresses. A defined address statement is required
when you plan to create map address translation rules. If the address you
want to represent is a single IP address in a filter statement, then a defined
address statement is not required. Service aliases allow you to define services
and then to reuse them in any number of filters. Service aliases also keep
track of the purposes of different service definitions.</p>
<div class="p">Defining addresses
and service aliases makes it easier to create your packet rules. When you
create the rules, you refer to the address nickname or service alias rather
than the specific address or service details. Using nicknames and aliases
in your filter rules has the following advantages:<ul><li>Minimizes the risks of typographical errors.</li>
<li>Minimizes the number of filter rules that you need to create.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="p">For example, you have users on your network who need Internet
access. However, you want to restrict these users to Web access only. You
have two choices about how to create the filter rules that you need in this
situation.<ul><li>Define a filter rule for each user's IP address.</li>
<li>Create a nickname for the entire address set that represents your users
by defining an address.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>The first choice increases your chances of making typographical
errors, as well as increasing the amount of maintenance that
you must perform for your rules file. Using the second choice, you only need
to create two filter rules. Use a nickname in each rule to refer to the entire
set of addresses to which the rule applies. </p>
<div class="p">You can also create nicknames
for services and use them in the same manner as address nicknames. The service
alias defines what TCP, UDP, and ICMP criteria you want to select. You select
the source and destination port that you want to use. <div class="remember"><span class="remembertitle">Remember:</span> You <em>must</em> define
addresses if you plan to use NAT. NAT rules can only point to a defined address.</div>
</div>
<p>For
instructions on how to define addresses, service aliases, and ICMP services,
use the Packet Rules Editor online help.</p>
