Add and Modify Fingerprints

traffic flow belongs. A fingerprint is a description of a pattern of network traffic
which can be used to identify an application. Extreme Management Center
provides thousands of system fingerprints with the ExtremeAnalytics feature. In
addition, you can modify these fingerprints and create new custom fingerprints.
