Configuring Incoming Services

You can control the traffic that goes to the trusted or optional net-
works from the external network using incoming services. Usually,
the Internet is the external network.
The Firebox® X Edge supplies a list of frequently used services you
can use to easily allow the most used traffic categories into your
trusted or optional network. You can also create custom services if
you must allow traffic that is not in the list of frequently used ser-
vices.
You must be careful when you allow incoming services. When you
allow an incoming service, you open the protected networks behind
the Edge to more traffic, which increases risk. Make sure that you
compare the value of added access to the security risk.
The incoming services in this section have no effect on traffic
between the trusted and optional networks. These services also
have no effect on traffic between computers on the trusted
network or between computers on the optional network.
