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 name on the Application Overview tab.

RUCKUS 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.
