Application filtering policy in networking involves controlling the types of applications and services that can be accessed on the network. This is done by setting rules to allow or block specific applications based on their characteristics, such as port numbers, protocols, or application signatures, to manage network traffic and security.



HOW IT WORKS:  


Step 1: 

Go to the desired cluster, in which you want to implement application filtering.


Step 2:  

To create Application Filtering Policy go to policy under Profiles section. Click on the create policy to create a new policy.




Step 3:

Give a Profile name and Description, After that click on the Definitions. 






Step 4:

Once you click on Definition, a list will pop-up, select Application Policy as shown in the below image. 


In Application Filtering, you can choose one of two options based on your requirement:

  • Allow – Only the selected applications will be allowed, and all others will be blocked.

  • Deny – Only the selected applications will be blocked, and all others will be allowed.






Step 5:

Go to Applications and select the desired application(s) to either allow or block.





Step 6:

Enable BYOP if the required application is not available in the list, then click the Save button.
