Creating a User Defined Application

When an application is unrecognized and generically (or incorrectly) categorized, the controller will be unable to monitor its traffic, unless you configure an explicit application identification policy based on IP address/mask, port and protocol.

To configure a user-defined application:

  1. Go to Services & Profiles > Application Control.
  2. Select the User Defined tab.
  3. Click Create.
    The Create User Defined Application page appears.

  4. Configure the following:
    1. Name: Type a name for the application. This is the name that will identify this application on the dashboard.
    2. Type: Select Default or Port Mapping Only (destination port).
    3. Destination IP: Type the destination IP address of the application.
    4. Netmask: Type the netmask of the destination IP address.
    5. Destination Port: Type the destination port for the application.
    6. Protocol: Select the protocol used by the application. Options include TCP and UDP.
    7. Click OK.

You have created the user defined application.

NOTE
You can also edit, clone and delete the application policy by selecting the options Configure, Clone and Delete respectively, from the User Defined tab.
