Release Information

Statement introduced in Release 10.2 of Junos OS.

Description

Configure nested application options for application identification services.

Options

no-application-system-cache—Nested application identification information is saved in the application system cache to improve performance. This cache is updated when a different application is identified. This caching is turned on by default. Use the no-application-system-cache statement to turn it off.

no-nested-application—Sometimes there is a need to identify multiple different applications running on the same Layer 7 protocols. For example, both Facebook and Yahoo Messenger can run over HTTP, but there is a need to identify them as two different applications. To do this, the application layer is split into two layers: Layer 7 applications and Layer 7 protocols. This function is turned on by default. Use the no-nested-application statement to turn it off.
