Application Filtering Intelligence

Application Filtering Intelligence functionality on GigaSMART allows filtering of traffic based on the application (such as YouTube, NetFlix, Sophos, or Facebook) or application family (such as antivirus, web, erp, or instant-messaging).

Application Filtering Intelligence supports filtering over 3200 applications. When filtering encrypted applications, GigaVUE‑FM will add eight applications (SSH, SSL, IPSEC, ISAKMP, TOR, TOR2WEB etc.) by default as a filtering criterion. These application works as base of top-level applications like HTTPS. Application Filtering Intelligence will filter all valid applications which have either of the eight applications in their protocol path.

You can create Application Filtering Intelligence in GigaVUE‑FM by following either of the two ways:

o   Create Application Filtering Intelligence by Selecting Applications from Dashboard
o   Create Application Filtering Intelligence by Editing Monitoring Session from Dashboard

You can upgrade the protocol signature by upgrading the image file on the GigaSMART card, and by uploading the GigaSMART card image to GigaVUE-FM from the Internal Server or External Server. To select the image, follow the steps:

  • Internal Server—Upload the GigaSMART card image to GigaVUE-FM from the internal server and select the image that you need to upgrade from the selected GigaSMART card.
  • External Server—Provide the location of the image in the external server that you need to upgrade from the GigaSMART card.

For more information on upgrading the image, refer to the following topics:
