User Defined Applications Tab

Configuration > User Defined Applications

This tab lists user-defined applications (UDA).

UDAs are specific to the appliance on which they're defined.

Where can you use them?

n	Route Policy

n	QoS Policy

n	Optimization Policy

n	Access Lists (ACL)

n	Application Groups

Behavior

n	For reporting symmetry, you must define the same application(s) on peer appliances. Otherwise, the application may be a UDA on one appliance, and yet be categorized as an unassigned application on another, paired appliance.

n	In the context of flow and application statistics reports, user-defined applications are always surveyed before built-in applications.

n	Ports are unique. If a port or a range includes a built-in port, then the custom application is the one that owns it.

n	If two distinctly named user-defined applications have a port number in common, then report results will be skewed, depending on the priority assigned to the custom applications. A port is only counted once.

n	If a UDA is in use, deleting it deletes all the dependent entries. A warning message appears before deletion.

n	Multiple UDAs can have the same name. Whenever that name is referenced, the software sequentially matches against each UDA definition having that name. So, dependent entries are only deleted when you delete the last definition of that UDA.
