Service Mapping

Service Templates

Service templates can be used to instantiate services on devices and virtual machines. A template defines a name, protocol, and port number(s), and may optionally include a description. Services can be instantiated from templates and applied to devices and/or virtual machines, and may be associated with specific IP addresses.

Services

A service represents a layer four TCP or UDP service available on a device or virtual machine. For example, you might want to document that an HTTP service is running on a device. Each service includes a name, protocol, and port number; for example, "SSH (TCP/22)" or "DNS (UDP/53)."

A service may optionally be bound to one or more specific IP addresses belonging to its parent device or VM. (If no IP addresses are bound, the service is assumed to be reachable via any assigned IP address.)
