Add Fingerprints
ExtremeAnalytics uses fingerprints to identify to which application a network
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.
In order to add and modify fingerprints, you must be a member of an
authorization group assigned the Extreme Management Center
ExtremeAnalytics Read/Write Access capability.
