Enable or Disable 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.
Enabling or Disabling a Fingerprint
Enable or disable a fingerprint from the Fingerprints tab. When a fingerprint is
enabled, it is used to identify applications. When it is disabled, it is ignored.
1. Select the Analytics > Fingerprints tab.
2. Right-click on the desired fingerprint in the Fingerprints table and select either
Enable Fingerprint or Disable Fingerprint.
3. Enforce to push the change to your engines.
NOTE: If you disable a system fingerprint, it becomes a custom fingerprint. If you then enable the
fingerprint, it remains a custom fingerprint. Deleting the custom fingerprint reloads the original
system fingerprint.
