User Defined Applications

When an application is unrecognized and generically (or incorrectly) categorized, you can configure an explicit application identification policy by IP Address/Mask, Port and Protocol. Wireless traffic that matches the configured policy will be displayed using the policy's name on the Application Overview page.

Unleashed provides two methods to create new user-defined applications:

  • IP-based User Defined Applications
  • Port based User Defined Applications

Application identification policies are implemented according to the following priority order:

  1. IP-based user defined applications
  2. System defined applications
  3. Port-based user defined applications

In this section:

  1. IP Based User Defined Applications
    The following figure shows how to configure an IP-based user defined application policy to identify a corporate accounting application.
  2. Port Based User Defined Applications
    When an application is unrecognized and generically (or incorrectly) categorized you can configure an application identification policy by IP Port and Protocol.
