Manually adding protocols and ports

To add a protocol and port manually:
1
From the Protocols page, click Add a Protocol.
2
In the Protocols section, type the name of the protocol.
3
From the Type list select one of the protocol types: HTTP, HTTPS, or Other.
 
* 
TIP: Use the Other type if you are configuring a protocol other than HTTP or HTTPS.
4
In the Ports section, type the port number that corresponds with the specified protocol and then click Add.
The port number is added to the list of ports.
5
Click OK to add the configuration to the Protocols page.

Automatically discovering ports

If you require assistance determining which ports are in use with monitored traffic, you can use the Auto-Discover Ports option and have the appliance automatically discover ports that are in use.

To automatically discover ports:
1
On the Protocols page, click Auto-Discover Ports.
The appliance begins to analyze current network traffic and lists all the ports that it discovers.
This page updates every few seconds displaying the list of ports that have been discovered in the traffic that the appliance is currently monitoring. You may need to allow the discovery process to run for several minutes depending on the amount of activity your applications are currently receiving.
2
To stop the auto-discovery process, click Stop at any point, and use the list of ports that has been detected up to that point.
The auto-discovery page displays the following data.

Displays the port number.

Client Packets

The number of client packets being transmitted from clients to the server.

NOTE: If the packet count is zero, and the Server Packet value is greater than zero the network tap is not configured correctly.
Server Packets

The number of packets being transmitted from servers to client.

NOTE: If the packet count is zero, and the Client Packet value is greater than zero the network tap is not configured correctly.
New TCP Connections

The number of new TCP connections observed on the port.

NOTE: If the number of connections equals zero or the number is small in relation to the number of active connections, the load balancer is maintaining a limited number of TCP connections to the web server and using the proxy server to send all requests over the TCP connections.
Active TCP Connections

The number of active TCP connections discovered in the traffic for the port.

3
To open a details dialog box for this port, click details.
The HTTP-detected and SSL-detected indicators report whether HTTP or SSL traffic was detected for this port. All active ports on the server are listed.
4
Select the check boxes that correspond with any ports you want the appliance to use to monitor traffic.
5
Click Add.
The Protocols > Edit page appears where you can assign a name and a type to the protocol definition, and then save it.

Removing protocols

On the main Protocols page, you can remove a protocol that is no longer being used by the TCP protocol on your network. You can delete a Protocol by selecting its corresponding check box, then click Delete.

Managing protocols on a Portal

When you access the Protocol page on a portal, a section for each probe displays the protocols and ports being monitored by each probe.

Figure 45. Protocols page

To configure protocols and ports for a probe you must use the web console of the probe. Click Configure protocols on the probe to launch the web console for the probe so you can modify the configuration. For more information about configuring protocols, see Identifying protocols.
