Configuring applications

Use the Configure Applications dialog to create application definitions. Application definitions create a mapping between one or more ports and an application. These port mappings are applied either globally, for all IP addresses, or for a defined subnet. This network scoping allows application definitions to have global scope, where the definition is valid for all hosts in a network, or limited scope, where the definition is valid only for a defined subnet.

Flow data is compared with the application definition and is associated with the application based on the following criteria:

The application classified flow data is then used to create the Top Applications report. This report is a Top "n" report that provides the bandwidth and percentage of the interface throughput used by each identified application.
