application-policy

Global Configuration Commands

Creates an application policy and enters its configuration mode. Application policies allow you to define rules that dictate how each traffic type is managed on your network. An application policy contains application (Layer 7) rules.

An application rule leverages the AP's deep packet inspection (DPI) engine to detect the underlying application to which a frame or flow belongs. The rule then applies access control and quality of service actions to all the traffic associated with the application, not just traffic destined for specific IP addresses or ports. The control actions regulate both access control and traffic engineering (rate limit, marking, and prioritization) for applications and groups.

Once created and configured, apply the application policy at the following levels within the network to enforce application assurance:
  • RADIUS change of authorization (CoA) usage – In the device/profile configuration mode, use the application-policy → radius → <APPLICATION-POLICY-NAME> command to apply the policy to every user successfully authenticated by the RADIUS server.
  • User role – In the role-policy-user-role configuration mode, use the use → application-policy <APPLICATION-POLICY-NAME> command to apply the policy to all users assigned to the role.
  • WLAN – In the WLAN configuration mode, use the use → application-policy <APPLICATION-POLICY-NAME> command to apply the policy to all users accessing the WLAN.
  • Bridge VLAN – In the bridge VLAN configuration mode, use the use → application-policy <APPLICATION-POLICY-NAME> command to apply the policy for the traffic corresponding to the bridged VLAN.
Note
