View Application Policy - AP Stats

About this task

Extreme Network's legacy 802.11ac APs, running WiNG 5.9.x and WiNG 7.2.1 OS, use a third-party engine to detect top-level hosting applications along with the services these applications host. Once detected, administrator-defined rules that dictate how each traffic type is managed within a managed network can be applied. The Application Policies define these rules.

This screen displays Application policy related statistics on the selected AP. The total number of applications identified by the APs and the actions applied. The legacy APs are: AP7522, AP7532, AP7562, AP7612, AP7632, AP7662, AP8432, and AP8533.

Note

    Action Displays the action executed on the listed application.
    • Allow - Allows packets for a specific application and its defined category type (social networking etc.). This is the default setting.
    • Deny - Denies (restricts) the action applied to a specific application or a specific application category.
    • Mark - Marks recognized packets with DSCP/8021p value Rate-limit - Rate limits packets from specific application types.
    Type Displays the application policy type applied.
    Precedence Lists the priority (from 1 - 256) for the application policy rule. The lower the value, the higher the priority assigned to this rule‘s enforcement action and the category and application assigned. A precedence also helps resolve conflicting rules for applications and categories.
    Action Hit Count Displays the number of times each listed application policy action has been triggered.
