Add Custom Application Signature Groups

Application identification supports custom application signatures to detect applications as they pass through the device. When you add custom signature groups, make sure that your signature groups are unique, by providing a unique and relevant name.

  1. Select Shared Services > Objects > Applications.
  2. Click Create > Signature Group.
  3. Complete the configuration according to the following guidelines:
    Table 1: Fields on the Create Application Signature Group Page

    Field

    Description

    Name

    Enter a unique name that is a string of alphanumeric characters, colons, periods, dashes, and underscores. No spaces are allowed and the maximum length is 63 characters.

    Description

    Enter a description for the application signature; maximum length is 255 characters.

    Group Members

    Click the plus icon (Blue plus symbol suggesting an action like adding or expanding content.) to add signatures to your application group. On the Add Application Signatures page, select the check boxes next to the signatures you want to add to the group.
  4. Click OK to save the changes. If you want to discard your changes, click Cancel instead.

    A new application signature group with your configurations is created.

Manage Custom Application Signature Groups
