29 Configuring Application
Monitoring and Enforcement
Application usage patterns in the enterprise network is changing with the increase in use of the social
networking, browser based file sharing, and peer to peer applications. The use of these applications result
in the new traffic patterns in the network that are not straightforward to distinguish.
OmniSwitch Application Monitoring and Enforcement (AppMon) feature addresses the key challenges of
real time classification of flows at application level by providing differential QoS treatment in the form of
higher priority marking and security policies at application level. AppMon feature improves the quality of
user experience through application aware network optimization and control.
Application Enforcement feature allows the switch to differentiate between different traffic flows and
assign the proper QoS and Security policies. The feature also provides appropriate QoS marking to
applications flows as per the Application-aware user configuration QoS policies.
Application Monitoring feature collects and reports the application specific flow information over a
period. Based on this data, application specific enforcement policies can be designed.
Note. AppMon is supported in a virtual chassis of OmniSwitch 6860 and OmniSwitch 6860E platforms
where at least one OmniSwitch 6860E is mandatory for the feature to work.
