Hi. New to Fortigates
I am not used to being able to input multiple ports into a "Service". Is there any difference between creating a Service with ports 80 and 443 and creating a Service for each port and making a Service Group?
Cheers
scott

hi,
and welcome to the forums.
For the 2 quoted services I don't think it makes a difference. But in general a service group is more flexible as you can include different protocols (e.g., PING/ICMP and TCP/HTTP).
Btw, HTTP and HTTPS are predefined, as some service groups are (depending on the version of FortiOS).
Hi Scott, In the past, I've done this with groups, but I came away because you haven't full insights about traffic and last use. At present I create policies for every service. There is a bit more to do, but have the benefit that you can see if a rule is no longer used. It depends of your need of course. Best, Markus
