Monitoring Applications

If you have enabled Application Recognition and Control for at least one WLAN, you can monitor the applications that run on wireless clients associated with that WLAN.

1. Go to Applications on the main menu.
2. Select whether to view the Top Applications by Application or Port, select a time period to display, and optionally filter the data by AP MAC address and WLAN name using the drop-down menus.
3. Select whether to display the Top 10 or Top 25 applications in Chart or Table format.
   NOTE

   If Application Recognition and Control is unable to find an application name, it displays the source and destination IP: port address of the application

4. Click on an application from the list on the left (either Chart or Table view) to view a list of the top clients using the selected application in the list on the right. The client list displays the client's MAC address, OS, hostname, IP address (IPv4 and IPv6), and application usage volume and percent of application traffic generated by the client. From the Total option, you can also filter the data based on the radio frequencies (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz).
