Creating a User-Defined Application

When an application is unrecognized and generically (or incorrectly) categorized, the controller is unable to monitor its traffic, unless you configure an explicit application identification policy based on IP address or mask, port, and protocol.
Complete the following steps to configure a user-defined application.
  1. From the main menu, go to Security > Application Control > User Defined Applications.
  2. Click Create.
    The Create User Defined Application dialog box is displayed.
  3. Configure the following options:
    • Name: Enter a name for the application. This name that will identify this application on the dashboard.
    • Type: Select Default or Port Mapping.
    • IP Mode: Select IPv4 or IPv6 address.
    • Destination IP/Netmask: Enter the destination IP address of the application and the netmask of the destination IP address.
    • Destination Port: Enter the destination port for the application.
    • Protocol: Select the protocol used by the application. Options include TCP and UDP.
  4. Click OK.
    Note: You can also edit, clone, and delete the user-defined application by selecting the options Configure, Clone, and Delete respectively from the User Defined tab.
