Question

Parks needs a reusable Layer-4 object for the municipal recreation portal on TCP 8443 so Distributed Firewall rules can name the service instead of typing the port each time. Where is that object created?

Accepted Answer

Open Inventory → Services and add a service for TCP 8443 — A named service is a city form number: fill it out once in Inventory → Services, then every DFW rule can say “recreation portal” instead of scribbling 8443 again. Load-balancer pools, uplink profiles, and vSphere shaping are not that form.

Answer

Create the port only as a load-balancing server pool under Networking and skip Inventory services

Answer

Define TCP 8443 as an uplink profile under System → Fabric → Profiles

Answer

Set vSphere distributed port-group traffic shaping to 8443 and treat that as the NSX service
