Configuring applications with the EMC

The Exinda Management Center provides a comprehensive set of built-in Applications for you to use, These cannot be edited, but you can define Custom Applications. You can add the custom application as part of an ignore policy at the bottom of the optimizer tree that is sent to the appliances.

NOTE

if you use a custom application in the definition of a virtual circuitlogical definitions that partition a a physical network circuit and used to determine what traffic passes through it and how much or policy for a given appliance group, then the custom application is automatically added to the appliance-group configuration.

Applications can be defined in the Library directly, and then later assigned to an Optimizer Policy Tree. Applications can also be created in an Optimizer Policy Tree, in which case they are also saved to the Configuration Library for use elsewhere. All applications within a tenant must have unique names. When an application is modified, all uses of it are also modified.
