Turn on Traffic Discovery for an Individual Class

Certain classes — such as PVC, VLAN, Citrix, and subnet classes — can be more specifically classified. For these types of classes, you can choose to enable traffic discovery within the class. For example, if you turn on traffic discovery for a subnet class (such as Marketing or Engineering), PacketWise will discover all the traffic running on the subnet and create child classes for these services. (If Easy Configure is enabled, we recommend that you do not use the Traffic Discovery within Class option, except for Citrix classes.)

Traffic discovery cannot be enabled within some classes because the autodiscovery process cannot categorize those traffic types in any greater detail. For example, a class that matches on IPX cannot be further auto-classified.

Note: To perform this task from PolicyCenter, you must first select a group and/or unit configuration from the Group: and Unit: drop-down lists at the top of the page.

In order for class discovery to work, you must have traffic discovery enabled. If discovery is enabled for a class, but is turned off for the unit, new classes will not be discovered. See Enable/Disable Traffic Discovery.
