Add Service Objects

In Cisco Secure Access, you can create a reusable Service Object by defining the resource with a port, range of ports, specific protocols, or any protocols.

After you add a Service Object, you can select the resource as destinations on private access rules in your Access policy. For more information about reusable destination components, see Components for Private Access Rules.
