About port labels
Port label settings are located on the Administration > Networking: Port Labels page.
Port labels are names given to sets of port numbers. You use port labels when configuring in-path rules. These port labels are provided by default:
• Interactive—Use this port label to automatically pass through traffic on interactive ports (for example, Telnet, TCP ECHO, remote logging, and shell).
• RBT-Proto—Use this port label to automatically pass through traffic on ports used by the system: 7744 (RiOS data store synchronization), 7800 (in-path), 7810 (out-of-path), 7820 (failover), 7850 (connection forwarding), 7860 (SteelHead Interceptor), 7870 (Client Accelerator Controller), 7881 (server-side Client Accelerator Controller), and 7882 (client-side Client Accelerator Controller).
• Secure—Use this port label to automatically pass through traffic on commonly secure ports (for example, SSH, HTTPS, and SMTPS).
If you don’t want to use the default labels, you must delete them. These guidelines apply to port labels:
• The fields in the various rule pages of the Management Console that take a physical port number also take a port label.
• Port label changes (that is, adding and removing ports inside a label) are applied immediately by the rules that use the port labels that you have modified.
• Use a comma-separated list when entering multiple ports.
