Information About Application Visibility and Control

Application Visibility and Control (AVC) classifies applications using deep packet inspection techniques with the Network-Based Application Recognition (NBAR2) engine, and provides application-level visibility and control (QoS) in wireless networks. After the applications are recognized, the AVC feature enables you to either drop, mark, or police the data traffic.

AVC is configured by defining a class map in a QoS client policy to match a protocol.

Using AVC, we can detect more than 1000 applications. AVC enables you to perform real-time analysis and create policies to reduce network congestion, costly network link usage, and infrastructure upgrades.

Note
You can view list of 30 applications in Top Applications in Monitor Summary section of the UI.

Traffic flows are analyzed and recognized using the NBAR2 engine at the access point. Refer to 8.0 protocol pack for the NBAR2-supported protocols or applications. The specific flow is marked with the recognized protocol or application, such as WebEx. This per-flow information can be used for application visibility using Flexible NetFlow (FNF). For more information on FNF, see the Flexible NetFlow Configuration Guide, Cisco IOS XE Release 3E (Cisco WLC 5700 Series). The same application name can also be used for control of traffic using QoS. For more information on QoS, see the QoS Configuration Guide, Cisco IOS XE Release 3E (Cisco WLC 5700 Series).

AVC QoS actions are applied with AVC filters in both upstream and downstream directions. The QoS actions supported for upstream flow are drop, mark, and police, and for downstream flow are mark and police. AVC QoS is applicable only when the application is classified correctly and matched with the class map filter in the policy map. For example, if the policy has a filter based on an application name, and the traffic has also been classified to the same application name, then the action specified for this match in the policy will be applied. For all QoS actions, refer Supported AVC Class Map and Policy Map Formats.

Application Visibility and Control Protocol Packs

Protocol packs are a means to distribute protocol updates outside the controller software release trains, and can be loaded on the controller without replacing the controller software.

The Application Visibility and Control Protocol Pack (AVC Protocol Pack) is a single compressed file that contains multiple Protocol Description Language (PDL) files and a manifest file. A set of required protocols can be loaded, which helps AVC to recognize additional protocols for classification on your network. The manifest file gives information about the protocol pack, such as the protocol pack name, version, and some information about the available PDLs in the protocol pack.

The AVC Protocol Packs are released to specific AVC engine versions. You can load a protocol pack if the engine version on the controller platform is the same or higher than the version required by the protocol pack.

Prerequisites for Application Visibility and Control

  • The access points should be AVC capable.
  • For the control part of AVC (QoS) to work, the application visibility feature with FNF has to be configured.

Guidelines for Inter-Switch Roaming with Application Visibility and Control

Follow these guidelines to prevent clients from getting excluded due to malformed QoS policies:

  • When a new QoS policy is added to the switch, a QoS policy with the same name should be added to other switch within the same roam or mobility domain.

  • When a switch is loaded with a software image of a later release, the new policy formats are supported. If you have upgraded the software image from an earlier release to a later release, you should save the configuration separately. When an earlier release image is loaded, some QoS policies might show as not supported, and you should restore those QoS policies to supported policy formats.

Restrictions for Application Visibility and Control

  • AVC is supported only on the following access points:
    • Cisco Aironet 1260 Series Access Points
    • Cisco Aironet 1600 Series Access Points
    • Cisco Aironet 2600 Series Access Point
    • Cisco Aironet 2600 Series Wireless Access Points
    • Cisco Aironet 2700 Series Access Point
    • Cisco Aironet 3500 Series Access Points
    • Cisco Aironet 3600 Series Access Points

  • AVC is not supported on Cisco Aironet 702W, 702I (128 M memory), and 1530 Series Access Points.

  • Dropping or marking of the data traffic (control part) is not supported for software Release 3.3.

  • Dropping or marking of the data traffic (control part) is supported in software Release 3E.

  • Only the applications that are recognized with application visibility can be used for applying QoS control.

  • Multicast traffic classification is not supported.
  • Only the applications that are recognized with App visibility can be used for applying QoS control.
  • IPv6 including ICMPv6 traffic classifications are not supported.
  • Datalink is not supported for NetFlow fields for AVC.
  • The following commands are not supported for AVC flow records:
    • collect flow username
    • collect interface { input | output}
    • collect wireless client ipv4 address
    • match interface { input | output}
    • match transport igmp type

  • The template timeout cannot be modified on exporters configured with AVC. Even if the template timeout value is configured to a different value, only the default value of 600 seconds is used.

  • For the username information in the AVC-based record templates, ensure that you configure the options records to get the user MAC address to username mapping. For more information, refer Creating a Flow Exporter (Optional).

  • When there is a mix of AVC-enabled APs such as 3600, and non-AVC-enabled APs such as 1140, and the chosen policy for the client is AVC-enabled, the policy will not be sent to the APs that cannot support AVC.

  • Only ingress AVC statistics are supported. The frequency of statistics updates depends on the number of clients loaded at the AP at that time. Statistics are not supported for very large policy format sizes.

  • The total number of flows for which downstream AVC QoS supported per client is 1000.

  • The maximum number of flows supported for Cisco WLC 5700 Series is 360 K and Catalyst 3850 Series Switch is 48 K.

  • These are some class map and policy map-related restrictions. For supported policy formats, see Supported AVC Class Map and Policy Map Formats.

    • AVC and non-AVC classes cannot be defined together in a policy in a downstream direction. For example, when you have a class map with match protocol, you cannot use any other type of match filter in the policy map in the downstream direction.

    • Drop action is not applicable for the downstream AVC QoS policy.

    • Match protocol is not supported in ingress or egress for SSID policy.

  • Google shares resources among several of their services because of which for some of the traffic it is not possible to say it is unique to one application. Therefore we added google-services for traffic that cannot be distinguished. The behavior you experience is expected.

Configuring Application Visibility and Control (CLI)

To configure Application Visibility, follow these general steps:
  1. Create a flow record by specifying keys and non-key fields to the flow.
  2. Create an optional flow exporter by specifying the flow record as an option.
  3. Create a flow monitor based on the flow record and flow exporter.
  4. Configure WLAN to apply flow monitor in IPv4 input or output direction.
To configure Application Control, follow these general steps:
  1. Create an AVC QoS policy.
  2. Attach AVC QoS policy to the client in one of three ways: configuring WLAN, using ACS or ISE, or adding local policies.

Creating a Flow Record

By default, wireless avc basic (flow record) is available. When you click Apply from the GUI, then the record is mapped to the flow monitor.

Default flow record cannot be edited or deleted. If you require a new flow record, you need to create one and map it to the flow monitor from CLI.

        Creating AVC QoS Policy

        To create AVC QoS policy, perform these general steps:

        1. Create a class map with match protocol filters.

        2. Create a policy map.

        3. Apply a policy map to the client in one of the following ways:

          1. Apply a policy map over WLAN either from the CLI or GUI.

          2. Apply a policy map through the AAA server (ACS server or ISE) from the CLI.

            For more information, refer to the Cisco Identity Services Engine User Guide and Cisco Secure Access Control System User Guide.

          3. Apply local policies either from the CLI or GUI.

        Creating a Class Map

        You need to create a class map before configuring any match protocol filter. The QoS actions such as marking, policing, and dropping can be applied to the traffic. The AVC match protocol filters are applied only for the wireless clients. Refer 8.0 protocol pack for the protocols supported.

Switch(config-pmap)#
             

            Creates a policy map by entering the policy map name, and enters policy-map configuration mode.

            By default, no policy maps are defined.

            The default behavior of a policy map is to set the DSCP to 0 if the packet is an IP packet and to set the CoS to 0 if the packet is tagged. No policing is performed.

            Note   

            To delete an existing policy map, use the no policy-map policy-map-name global configuration command.

            Defines a traffic classification, and enters policy-map class configuration mode.

            By default, no policy map and class maps are defined.

            If a traffic class has already been defined by using the class-map global configuration command, specify its name for class-map-name in this command.

            A class-default traffic class is predefined and can be added to any policy. It is always placed at the end of a policy map. With an implied match any is included in the class-default class, all packets that have not already matched the other traffic classes will match class-default.

            Note   

            To delete an existing class map, use the no class class-map-name policy-map configuration command.

Switch(config-pmap-c)# police 100000 80000 drop
             

            Defines a policer for the classified traffic.

            By default, no policer is defined.

            • For rate-bps, specify an average traffic rate in bits per second (b/s). The range is 8000 to 10000000000.

            • For burst-byte, specify the normal burst size in bytes. The range is 8000 to 1000000.

            • (Optional) Specifies the action to take when the rates are exceeded. Use the exceed-action drop keywords to drop the packet. Use the exceed-action policed-dscp-transmit keywords to mark down the DSCP value (by using the policed-DSCP map) and to send the packet.

             
            Step 5set {dscp new-dscp | cos cos-value}


            Example: 
            
Switch(config-pmap-c)# set dscp 45
             

            Classifies IP traffic by setting a new value in the packet.

            • For dscp new-dscp, enter a new DSCP value to be assigned to the classified traffic. The range is 0 to 63.

             
            Step 6end


            Example:
            Switch(config)# end
             

            Returns to privileged EXEC mode. Alternatively, you can also press Ctrl-Z to exit global configuration mode.

                            Configuring Application Visibility (GUI)

                            You can apply the default flow record (wireless avc basic) to the default flow monitor (wireless-avc-basic).

                            If you are using the flow record and flow monitor you have created, then the record name and monitor name should be same. This is specific only for configuring AVC from GUI and not for the CLI configuration.

                            You can use the flow monitor you have created either for upstream or downstream, or both, but ensure that you use the same record name while mapping with the flow monitor.

                              Step 1   Choose Configuration > Wireless > WLAN.

                              The WLAN page appears.

                              Step 2   Click on the corresponding WLAN ID to open the WLAN > Edit page and click AVC.

                              The Application Visibility page appears.

                              1. Select the Application Visibility Enabled check box to enable AVC on a WLAN.
                              2. In the Upstream Profile text box, enter the name of the AVC profile.
                              3. In the Downstream Profile text box, enter the name of the AVC profile.

                              To enable AVC, you need to enter the profile names for the upstream and downstream profiles. The profile names are the flow monitor names. By default, the flow monitor names (wireless-avc-basic) appear in the Upstream Profile and Downstream Profile text boxes. For the default flow monitor, the default flow record (wireless avc basic) will be taken. The default flow record is generated by the system and is available.

                              You can change the profile names for the upstream and downstream profiles but ensure that the same flow records are available for the flow monitors.

                              The upstream and downstream profiles can have different profile names but there should be flow records available for the flow monitors.

                              Step 3   Click Apply to apply AVC on the WLAN.
                              Step 4   To disable AVC on a specific WLAN, perform the following steps:
                              • Choose Configuration > Wireless > WLAN to open the WLAN page.
                              • Click on the corresponding WLAN ID to open the WLAN > Edit page.
                              • Click AVC to open the Application Visibility page.
                              • Uncheck the Application Visibility Enabled check box.
                              • Click Apply to disable AVC on the specific WLAN.

                                  Monitoring SSID and Client Policies Statistics (GUI)

                                  Statistics are supported only for ingress policies with a maximum of five classes on wireless targets. For very large policies, statistics for ingress policies are not visible at the switch. The frequency of the statistics depends on the number of clients associated with the access point.

                                  SSID Policies

                                  Choose Monitor > Controller > Statistics > QoS.

                                  The QoS page is displayed with a list of SSID policies, Radio Type, and AP.

                                  Choose an SSID policy, radio, and access point from the drop-down lists and click Apply to view the statistics of the chosen SSID policy.

                                  You can view details such as match criteria, confirmed bytes, conformed rate, and exceeded rate.

                                  Client Policies

                                  Choose Monitor > Clients > Client Details .

                                  The Clients page is displayed with a list of client MAC addresses, AP, and other details.

                                  Click the MAC address of a client and click the QoS Statistics tab.

                                  You can view details such as match criteria, confirmed bytes, conformed rate, and exceeded rate.

                                  Examples: Application Visibility Configuration

                                  This example shows how to create a flow record, create a flow monitor, apply the flow record to the flow monitor, and apply the flow monitor on a WLAN: 
                                  Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# flow record fr_v4
Switch(config-flow-record)# match ipv4 protocol
Switch(config-flow-record)# match ipv4 source address
Switch(config-flow-record)# match ipv4 destination address
Switch(config-flow-record)# match transport destination-port
Switch(config-flow-record)# match flow direction
Switch(config-flow-record)# match application name
Switch(config-flow-record)# match wireless ssid
Switch(config-flow-record)# collect counter bytes long
Switch(config-flow-record)# collect counter packets long
Switch(config-flow-record)# collect wireless ap mac address
Switch(config-flow-record)# collect wireless client mac address
Switch(config)#end


Switch# configure terminal
Switch# flow monitor fm_v4
Switch(config-flow-monitor)# record fr_v4
Switch(config-flow-monitor)# cache timeout active 1800
Switch(config)#end


Switch(config)#wlan wlan1
Switch(config-wlan)#ip flow monitor fm_v4 input
Switch(config-wlan)#ip flow mon fm-v4 output
Switch(config)#end

                                  Examples: Application Visibility and Control QoS Configuration

                                  This example shows how to create class maps with apply match protocol filters for application name, category, and subcategory: 
                                  Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# class-map cat-browsing
Switch(config-cmap)# match protocol attribute category browsing
Switch(config-cmap)#end

Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# class-map cat-fileshare
Switch(config-cmap)# match protocol attribute category file-sharing
Switch(config-cmap)#end

Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# class-map match-any subcat-terminal
Switch(config-cmap)# match protocol attribute sub-category terminal
Switch(config-cmap)#end

Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# class-map match-any webex-meeting
Switch(config-cmap)# match protocol webex-meeting
Switch(config-cmap)#end

                                  This example shows how to create policy maps and define existing class maps for upstream QoS: 

                                  Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# policy-map test-avc-up
Switch(config-pmap)# class cat-browsing
Switch(config-pmap-c)# police 150000
Switch(config-pmap-c)# set dscp 12
Switch(config-pmap-c)#end


Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# policy-map test-avc-up
Switch(config-pmap)# class cat-fileshare
Switch(config-pmap-c)# police 1000000
Switch(config-pmap-c)# set dscp 20
Switch(config-pmap-c)#end


Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# policy-map test-avc-up
Switch(config-pmap)# class subcat-terminal
Switch(config-pmap-c)# police 120000
Switch(config-pmap-c)# set dscp 15
Switch(config-pmap-c)#end

Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# policy-map test-avc-up
Switch(config-pmap)# class webex-meeting
Switch(config-pmap-c)# police 50000000
Switch(config-pmap-c)# set dscp 21
Switch(config-pmap-c)#end

                                  This example shows how to create policy maps and define existing class maps for downstream QoS: 

                                  Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# policy-map test-avc-down
Switch(config-pmap)# class cat-browsing
Switch(config-pmap-c)# police 200000
Switch(config-pmap-c)# set dscp 10
Switch(config-pmap-c)#end


Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# policy-map test-avc-up
Switch(config-pmap)# class cat-fileshare
Switch(config-pmap-c)# police 300000
Switch(config-pmap-c)# set wlan user-priority 2
Switch(config-pmap-c)# set dscp 20
Switch(config-pmap-c)#end


Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# policy-map test-avc-up
Switch(config-pmap)# class subcat-terminal
Switch(config-pmap-c)# police 100000
Switch(config-pmap-c)# set dscp 25
Switch(config-pmap-c)#end

Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# policy-map test-avc-up
Switch(config-pmap)# class webex-meeting
Switch(config-pmap-c)# police 60000000
Switch(config-pmap-c)# set dscp 41
Switch(config-pmap-c)#end

                                  This example shows how to apply defined QoS policy on a WLAN: 

                                  Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)#wlan  alpha
Switch(config-wlan)#shut
Switch(config-wlan)#end
Switch(config-wlan)#service-policy client input test-avc-up
Switch(config-wlan)#service-policy client output test-avc-down
Switch(config-wlan)#no shut
Switch(config-wlan)#end

                                  Example: Configuring QoS Attribute for Local Profiling Policy

                                  The following example shows how to configure QoS attribute for a local profiling policy: 

                                  Switch(config)# class-map type control subscriber match-all local_policy1_class
Switch(config-filter-control-classmap)# match device-type android
Switch(config)# service-template local_policy1_template
Switch(config-service-template)# vlan 40
Switch(config-service-template)# service-policy qos output local_policy1
Switch(config)# policy-map type control subscriber local_policy1
Switch(config-event-control-policymap)# event identity-update match-all
Switch(config-class-control-policymap)# 1 class local_policy1_class do-until-success
Switch(config-action-control-policymap)# 1 activate service-template local_policy1_template
Switch(config)# wlan open_auth 9
Switch(config-wlan)# client vlan VLAN40
Switch(config-wlan)# service-policy type control subscriber local_policy1
