Chapter 3 CLI Commands

(config) policy-engine application name

To create a new application definition that specifies general information about an application on a WAE,

use the policy-engine application name global configuration command. To delete the application

definition, use the no form of this command.

policy-engine application name app-name [set-dscp dscp-marking]

no policy-engine application name app-name [set-dscp dscp-marking]

Syntax Description

Defaults No default behavior or values.

Command Modes global configuration

Device Modes application-accelerator

Usage Guidelines Use this command to create a new application name that can be used later to gather statistics about an

application or to apply a DSCP marking value to the application traffic. You cannot delete an application

name if other policies are using this name. Successful deletion clears all statistics that were once

associated with this application.

Note There is a limitation of 255 different application names.

You cannot delete the application definition named Other.

A DSCP value that you specify in the policy-engine application name command applies to all traffic

associated with the application, unless it is overridden by a DSCP marking value that you specify in a

specific map by one of the policy-engine application map commands. If a DSCP marking value is not

assigned or defined, the default DSCP marking value (defined by the policy-engine application

set-dscp command) is applied to traffic.

Note We strongly recommend that you use the WAAS Central Manager GUI to centrally configure application

policies for your WAEs. For more information, see the Cisco Wide Area Application Services

Configuration Guide.

Examples The following example shows how to create an application definition for the Payroll application:

application name

app-name

Application name (up to 30 characters). The name cannot contain spaces or

special characters. Specify the reserved name Other to set the DSCP

marking value on nonclassified traffic.

set-dscp dscp-marking (Optional) Sets the DSCP marking value (Table 3-2) to be applied to the

application traffic.
