"The firewall rules for Template 1 are shown in the screenshot below. As you click on each cell in the grid in the top of the window, the bottom pane changes to allow you to edit the data in that cell. Instead of simply entering a TCP connection type and a port number, the template firewall offers the SSH service as an option in the tree view on the left side, which is what this rule is using to define where the connection is destined. The service that the template refers to is part of the system definitions and is read-only, allowing you to see the details in the pane but not edit them."
