    Hi all,

    If one were to make this rule in an SSID:

    How do I know specifically what streaming sources I'm denying access to?  Does Aruba spell out these categories so admins *know* exactly what destinations they're influencing traffic flow about, or are we guessing and hoping?

    As the classification is done by the internal DPI engine, it is updated with newer AOS versions. It is easiest to fetch this directly from an IAP with the version you are running using the following commands:

    #show dpi appcategory all

Pre-defined Application Categories
----------------------------------
Name                    App Category ID
----                    ---------------

webmail                 22
mobile                  23

Total application categories = 23


    This will give you a list of all pre-defined application categories. You can then individually query each category for the applications contained within

    # show dpi appcategory streaming

Total applications in this category = 154


    Lastly you query the  particular app you are interested in to see what the classification defaults to:

    # show dpi app 050plus

Pre-defined Application
-----------------------
Name     App ID  App Category  Default Ports
----     ------  ------------  -------------
050plus  1123    streaming     tcp 80 443


    The DPI engine does more than just look at ports but that is the closest I believe you get to the individual application classification. The rest is probably some "secret sauce" of the Aruba AppRF engine.

    Some applications are adaptive in nature, therefore a few sessions might occasionally be wrongly classified. But overall the engine can classify over 3000 categories which way beyond what other vendors can claim and it works very well in real-world scenarios.
