purview-application-group

Global Configuration Commands

Creates a Purview Application Group and enters its configuration mode. A Purview application group is a collection of system-provided and/or user-defined applications. Application group allows you to enforce mandatory stats reporting for specific traffic types.

The WiNG 7.1.2 OS uses EAA (Extreme Application Analytics) (Purview™) DPI engine to implement Application Visibility and Control (AVC). It detects top-level hosting applications (layer 7) along with the services these applications host.

Use AVC to implement:
  • Packet filtering - allow, deny or mark packets based on rules defined in the Purview application policy.
  • Mandatory stats reporting - enable mandatory stats reporting for an application or set of applications defined in the Application group.
The purview-application-group command is part of the mandatory stats reporting feature. To enable mandatory stats reporting, follow the steps below:
  1. Create a Purview application-group, specify the applications for which mandatory stats reporting is to be enabled.
    Note

    Note

    If the required application definition is not system-provided, use the application command to create a custom application signature.
  2. Use this Purview application-group in the NSight policy.
  3. Apply the NSight policy in the RF Domain context.
Note

Note

For more information and examples, see mandatory.

Supported in the following platforms:

  • Access Points — AP505i, AP510i/e, AP560i/h
Note

Note

Purview DPI engine is not supported on the WiNG 7.1.2 enabled NX5500, NX7500, NX9500, NX9600 and VX9000 platforms. This support will be introduced in future releases.
Note
