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.

Wireless traffic that matches a configured policy will be displayed using the policy's Description text in the Application Recognition pie charts. You can create new port-to-application name mappings individually using the Port based User Defined Application tab.

This type of application categorization is the least granular in configuration and hence it has the lowest priority as a means of application identification. If for example you configure a port-based user-defined Application for port 80/TCP, any such matching wireless traffic not identified by either an IP-based application or the default embedded applications will be identified as belonging to this application.

Create new port based user-defined application

The following figure shows how a port-based user-defined application policy could be used to identify all port 8081 wireless traffic as "HTTP Proxy" traffic and display this name in application recognition pie charts and tables.
