Configure the Network Protocol

The protocol statement allows you to specify which of the supported network protocols to match in an application definition. To configure, include the protocol statement at the [edit applications application application-name] hierarchy level:

[edit applications application application-name]

protocol type;

You specify the protocol type as a numeric value; for the more commonly used protocols, text names are also supported in the CLI. Table 4 shows the list of the supported protocols:
