Next to the name of a service, two fields appear in brackets. The first field indicates
the IP protocol type (TCP, UDP, or ICMP). The second field indicates the IP port

port 53 and TCP port 53. Click the Service link to go to the Service screen where
you can configure custom service ports. See Appendix E on page 623 for a list of
