To apply protection to your services, first create a protection class in the “Service Protection” catalog. Then, assign the class to your virtual server through the **Services > Virtual Servers > Edit > Classes** page.

You can configure as many service protection classes as you require, each with its own settings and rules. Equally, you can apply a single service protection class to multiple virtual servers.
