User Defined Application
This feature allows you to identify unclassified TCP, UDP, HTTP, and HTTPS applications, and extracts their application name and ID.

Create Rules under User Defined Application
1. Click Inventory.
2. Click User Defined Applications to create rules based on a set of Supported Protocols and Attributes. For information on Supported protocols and Attributes refer User Defined Application topic. This helps the physical or virtual node to classify the traffic based on the protocols and attributes selected in the created rule.
Note: In user defined application, when configuring multiple attributes of the same protocol in the same rule, you need to provide them as 2 sets within the same rule.
3. Click New in the User Defined Applications screen to create a new rule.
4. Enter Application Name.
5. Enter Priority. The value must be between 1 and 120.
Note: The least value will have the highest priority.
6. In the created rule:
a. | Choose the Protocol from the list of protocols. |
Note: The HTTP2 protocol is not listed under the list of protocols. You need to select HTTP for configuring the signatures for HTTP2 applications.
b. | Choose the Attributes from the list of attributes. |
c. | Choose the Values from the list of values. |
7. Click Apply. The rule is now created. For information on the limitations for creating rules refer Configuration Limitations section.
8. Click the application listed under the Applications column.
9. Click the Rule tab.
10. Select a rule to view its protocol details.
Supported Protocols and Attributes
The DPI engine will match the rules defined based on the following protocols and attributes within the first 500 bytes of a packet payload.

Mindata
The mindata value is the number of payload bytes to buffer and match a given pattern. You can configure mindata value for HTTP content, TCP stream, and UDP stream. The buffer size is calculated from the start of the payload and the default buffer size is different for each protocol (HTTP - 206, TCP - 67, and UDP - 48.)
For example, for pattern ".*TEST.*" that may be present within the first 67 bytes of TCP payload, you can specify the mindata value as 4 (which is the length of the input string) or as 67 (which is the default buffer size of TCP payload). In case, the pattern is present in between 65 to 68 bytes of the payload and the mindata is specified as 4 or 67, it will not match. For this case, you must specify the mindata value as 68.
Supported RegExp Syntax
Pattern | Description |
. | Matches any symbol |
* | Searches for 0 or more occurrences of the symbol or character set that precedes it |
+ | Searches for 1 or more occurrences of the symbol or character set that precedes it |
? | Searches for 0 or 1 occurrence of the symbol or character set that precedes it |
( ) [ ] |
Groups a series of expressions together Matches any value included within the bracket at its current position Example: [Dd]ay matches Day and day |
| [<start>-<end>] |
Separates values contained in ( ). Searches for any one of the values that it separates. Example: The following expression matches dog or cat: (dog | cat). Matches any value contained within the defined range (a hyphen indicates the range). You can mix character class and a hexadecimal range Example: [AaBbCcDdEeFf0-9] |
\0 <octal_number> | Matches for a direct binary with octal input |
\x<hexadecimal-number>\x | Matches for a direct binary with hexadecimal input |
\[<character-set>\] | Matches a character set while ignoring case. WARNING: Not performance friendly |
