Application Intelligence—Rules and Notes

Keep in mind the following rules and notes when working with the Application Intelligence solution:

■

Only one Application Visualization, Application Filtering and/or Application Metadata solution can be deployed on a Gen 3 GigaSMART card or V Series node.

■

Whenever you perform a backup and restore operation, you must create a backup of both the device and GigaVUE-FM and then restore the backed-up data on both as well.

■

Application Intelligence supports processing asymmetric (unidirectional) and symmetric (bidirectional) traffic. However, its recommended to process symmetric traffic to get the best results

■

GigaVUE-FM can take up to 10 minutes for populating the Application Intelligence dashboards.

■

On Gen1/Gen2 GigaSMART cards, when both AFI and AMI licenses are installed and buffer ASF is used, only 5‑tuple / Layer‑4 sessions are buffered. Non‑5‑tuple (non‑L4) packets such as ICMP or ARP are dropped by ASF and are not passed to AMI for attribute extraction. This can prevent ICMP application or transport attributes from being exported even when they are selected in AMI

■

Application Filtering Intelligence License is an optional choice for Application Metadata Intelligence, but AFI with "No-Rule-Match" pass will be enabled by default for AMI.

■

The patten matching (regex) rule and application filter rule cannot be used together in the same second-level map.

■

Application Intelligence does not detect or classify ARP requests for both Gen 2 and Gen 3 devices, resulting in the dropping of packets that do not meet an APF match.

■

The maximum number of user defined application that can be configured is 120 per GigaVUE‑FM. These applications can be spread across one or more application intelligence sessions.

■

The maximum number of rules that can be created per application is 8.

■

The maximum number of protocols that can be configured per rule is 3.
