dpi

Displays Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) statistics for all configured and canned applications. DPI is an advanced packet analysis technique, which analyzes packet and packet content headers to determine the nature of network traffic. When DPI is enabled, packets of all flows are subjected to DPI to get accurate results. DPI identifies applications (such as, Netflix, Twitter, Facebook, etc.) and also extracts metadata (such as, host name, server name, TCP-RTT, etc.) for further use by the WiNG firewall.
Note

Note

The show > dpi command returns results only if executed on a device that supports DPI and has DPI logging enabled. DPI logging can be enabled either on the device or on the profile applied to the device. For more information, see dpi (profile config mode).

Supported in the following platforms:

  • Access Points — AP505i, AP510i/e, AP560i/h
  • Service Platforms — NX5500, NX7500, NX9500, NX9600, VX9000

Parameters

show dpi app wireless-clients stats <MAC> {<DEVICE-OR-DOMAIN-NAME>}
dpi app wireless-clients <MAC> Displays application-usage statistics for all wireless clients or a specified wireless client
  • <MAC> – Displays application usage stats for a specified wireless client. To view applications used by a specific wireless client, specify the client‘s MAC address.
    Note: If no MAC address is specified, application usage stats is displayed for all wireless clients within the network (i.e., all RF Domains)
on <DEVICE-OR-DOMAIN-NAME> Optional. Displays application-usage stats for wireless clients associated with a specified device or within a specified RF Domain
  • <DEVICE-OR-DOMAIN-NAME> – Specify the name of the access point, wireless controller, service platform, or RF Domain.
Note: If you specify an access point name, the application usage stats for wireless clients associated with the specified AP is displayed. In case of an RF Domain, application usage stats for all wireless clients associated with APs within the specified RF Domain is displayed.
show dpi app stats [<APPLICATION-NAME>|all] {on <DEVICE-OR-DOMAIN-NAME>}
dpi app stats Displays statistics for an application or application category
  • app – Displays statistics for a specified application or all applications
Note: The applications are the RF Domain member allowed applications whose data (bytes) are passing through the WiNG 7.X.X managed network.
[<APPLICATION-NAME>|all] This parameter is common to the ‘app‘ and ‘app-category‘ keywords.
  • <APPLICATION-NAME> – Displays statistics for a specified application
  • all – Displays statistics for all applications
on <DEVICE-OR-DOMAIN-NAME> Optional. Displays statistical data on a specified device or RF Domain
  • <DEVICE-OR-DOMAIN-NAME> – Specify the name of the access point, wireless controller, service platform, or RF Domain.
show dpi app wlan stats [<WLAN-NAME>|all] on <RF-DOMAIN-NAME>
dpi app wlan stats [<WLAN-NAME>|all] Displays application-usage statistics for all wireless clients associating with a specified network or all networks
  • <WLAN-NAME> – Displays application usage stats for a specified wireless network.
  • all - Displays application usage stats for all wireless networks configured within the system.
on <RF-DOMAIN-NAME> Optional. Displays application-usage stats for wireless clients within a specified RF Domain
  • <RF-DOMAIN-NAME> – Specify the name of the RF Domain.
show dpi purview-application-policy stats <PURVIEW-APP-POLICY-NAME> 
{on <DEVICE-NAME>}
dpi purview-application-policy stats Displays statistics for an existing Purview application policy
<PURVIEW-APP-POLICY-NAME> Displays statistics for a specified Purview application-policy. Specify the policy name.
on <DEVICE-OR-DOMAIN-NAME> Optional. Displays Purview application-policy related statistical data on a specified device or RF Domain
  • <DEVICE-OR-DOMAIN-NAME> – Specify the name of the access point, wireless controller, service platform, or RF Domain.
show dpi purview-application brief
dpi purview-application brief Displays a brief summary of purview-applications their status and configuration
show dpi per-purview-category stats <PURVIEW-APP-CATEGORY-NAME> 
[bytes-in|bytes-out|total-bytes] {on <DEVICE-OR-DOMAIN-NAME>}
dpi per-purview-category stats Displays statistics for the top ten applications based on the application category and the Sort ID specified. The Sort ID options are: bytes-in, bytes-out or total-bytes.
<PURVIEW-APP-CATEGORY-NAME> Specify the Purview application category name. The system displays statistics for the top ten applications in this category.
[bytes-in|bytes-out| total-bytes] Filters and displays statistical data for the top ten utilized applications in respect to the following:
  • bytes-in – Displays total data bytes uploaded through the controller managed network. If this application data is not aligned with application utilization expectations, consider allowing or denying additional applications and categories or adjusting their precedence (priority).
  • bytes-out – Displays total data bytes downloaded through the controller managed network. If this application data is not aligned with application utilization expectations, consider allowing or denying additional applications and categories or adjusting their precedence (priority).
  • total-bytes – Displays total data bytes (uploaded and downloaded) through the controller managed network. These are only the administrator allowed applications approved for proliferation within the managed network.
on <DEVICE-OR-DOMAIN-NAME> Optional. Displays statistical data on a specified device or RF Domain
  • <DEVICE-OR-DOMAIN-NAME> – Specify the name of the access point, wireless controller, service platform, or RF Domain.
