Configure a Basic Application Management PolicyNEW!

You must be in the process of configuring a new Application Management policy or modifying an existing policy to use this procedure.

Use this procedure to configure or modify basic settings for an Application Management policy.

Choose from the following actions:
- If you are in the process of configuring a new Application Management policy, proceed to the next step.
- If you want to edit basic settings for an Application Management policy, go to Policies > Application Management. Select adjacent to the target policy. Modify the settings in accordance with the steps in this procedure.
Select the Basic tab.
Enter an Application Policy Description in the range 1–80 characters. Highlight the application and category filters to differentiate this policy from other policies with similar settings.

Choose from the Application Logging options to enable and filter logging for application-specific packet flows. Set the parameters as described in Application Logging Parameters.

Table 1. Application Logging Parameters
Parameter	Description
Enable Logging	Select this option to enable DPI application recognition logging. This feature is by disabled by default. DPI is an advanced packet analysis technique, which analyzes packet and packet content headers to determine the nature of network traffic. When enabled, DPI inspects packets of all flows to identify applications (such as, Netflix, Twitter, Facebook) and extract metadata (such as, host name, server name, TCP-RTT) for further use by the ExtremeWireless WiNG firewall.
Enable Logging Level	This option invokes logging of application events by severity, and is enabled by default when Enable Logging is enabled. Select a severity level for this Application Management policy. Options include: Notifications (default) Emergency Alert Critical Error Warning Information Debug

Use the Application Policy Enforcement Time table to configure an enforcement time period for this Application Management policy. The enforcement time is applicable only to those rules, within the Application Management policy, that do not have an associated Schedule policy. By default, an Application Management policy is enforced on all days.

Note

Schedule policies are a means of enforcing allow/deny/mark/rate-limit rules at different time periods. If no Schedule policy is applied, all rules within an Application Management policy are enforced at the time specified using this enforcement time command. To configure a Schedule policy for use with this Application Management policy, use the CLI command schedule-policy, then select the policy while performing the procedure Configure Application Policy Rules

Select Add to populate the table with an enforcement time configuration to activate an Application Management policy based on the current local time. The option to configure an activation period is applicable for a single policy. Configure the time period when the policy is enforced as described in Application Policy Enforcement Time Parameters. If no time enforcement configuration is set, the policy is continually in effect without restriction.
