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.

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