Classification

Table 2-33, Applications describes the fields on the Applications setup page.

Table 2-33	Applications
Field		Description
Application		Standard protocols, or name given by the user (if user-created).
Protocol/Port		Application protocol and port.
		The port is an arbitrary number you assign to handle the additional ports for
		the protocol family. This protocol number must be unique so it does not
		conflict with standard protocol/port assignments.
		The port number range will vary depending on the protocol type selected.
Selector		An arbitrary number, unique within an engine-id. It will be automatically
		assigned if left blank.
		This allows you to configure applications consistently across multiple NAMs,
		so that the same user-created application is exported with the same value. This
		should be used when configuring the same custom applications on multiple
		NAMs.
Engine ID		Will show “Custom” if it was user-created.
Application Tag		Pre-defined for standard protocols.
		For user-created, the application tag is a combination of the engine ID and the
		Selector. The 32 bit is generated by using the engine ID as the highest order
		byte, and the Selector makes up the other 3 bytes.
Description		Full name of the protocol.

Creating a New Application

		When defining applications, you will be able to view and select from a list of candidate IP addresses and
		port numbers for the traffic being analyzed. You can create additional ports to enable the NAM to handle
		additional traffic for standard applications.
		To create a new application:
	Step 1	Choose Setup > Classification > Applications.
		The Applications screen displays.
	Step 2	Choose the type you would like to create and click Create.
		The Application Configuration window displays.
	Step 3	Enter a name in the Name field.
	Step 4	Enter a Selector value. This is an arbitrary number, unique within an engine-id. It will be automatically
		assigned if left blank.
