Ipswitch WhatsUp Gold User Guide
To define rules for classifying traffic that uses non-standard ports:
1 From any dashboard view or report in the web interface, select GO. The GO menu
appears.
2 If the Flow Monitor section is not visible, click Flow Monitor. The Flow section of the GO
menu appears.
3 Select Configure > Applications. The Applications dialog appears.
4 Click New to configure a new port definition. The Flow Port dialog appears.
5 In Port, enter the port number over which the traffic is sent.
6 In Application, enter a name for the traffic that you are classifying. This should be the
name of the protocol (for instance, the definition for port 80 includes HTTP as the
application).
7 Select Monitor the following protocols on this port, and then select the protocols
that the application uses (TCP, UDP, or SCTP).
8 Click OK to save changes.
Configure Applications
Use this dialog to create application definitions. Application definitions create a mapping
between one or more ports and an application. These port mappings are applied either
globally, for all IP addresses, or for a defined subnet. This network scoping allows application
definitions to have global scope, where the definition is valid for all hosts in a network, or
limited scope, where the definition is valid only for a defined subnet.
Flow data is compared with the application definition and is associated with the application
based on the following criteria:
If the network scope is global, a flow is classified as belonging to an application when
a port number in either the source or destination IP-port pair matches a port mapped
to the application.
If the network scope is limited to a defined subnet, a flow is classified as belonging to
an application when a port number in either the source or destination IP-port pair
matches a port mapped to the application, and the IP address falls within the defined
subnet.
