Question about application group and custom service group

L1 Bithead

Hi All, 

 

First off I appologize if this question has been answered before.

I have a question regarding the use of application groups and custom service groups in the same security policy. Can traffic identified in the application group use a non standard port that is defined in the custom service group?

 

For example, Can traffic identified as kerberos in an application group use a non-standard port say 555 which is defined in the custom service group of the policy?

 

How would behaviour be different if I use application-default as the service in the policy which has application group? Can traffic identified as kerberos use the port UDP 123 since theres the app-id ntp in the same application group as kerberos?

 

Thanks in advance!

another important thing to put in mind

1) if you choose application-default this will cause that only the identified application will be allowed on this port for example it you put ssh and web-browsing on the same rule, web-browsing wont be allowed on port 22 but if you will put on the service tab tcp-80 and tcp-22 both ssh and web-browsing will be allowed on both of the port

 

2) another thing is if you put a non tcp/udp application and you do specify a specific service this application wont be matched on that rule

indeed,application-default will enforce the default ports per application, so if you have a group of apps in a policy, they will not be able to use eachother's ports (ftp on port 80 will not work if app-default is enabled)
