What are the differences between using a service versus using an application for Security Policy match?
Use of a “service” enables the firewall to take immediate action with the first observed packet based on port numbers. Use of an “application” allows the firewall to take immediate action if the port being used is a member of the application standard port list.
There are no differences between “service” or “application”. Use of an “application” simplifies configuration by allowing use of a friendly application name instead of port numbers.
Use of a “service” enables the firewall to take immediate action with the first observed packet based on port numbers. Use of an “application” allows the firewall to take action after enough packets allow for App-ID identification regardless of the ports being used
