The applications have been assigned to groups to make classifying applications and creating shaping policies simpler.Ĭlicking on a particular application or content type within the Applications Details page will take you to the Rule Details page, where you will find detailed information about that particular application or content type rule, including which users are contributing to usage of this type and details such as which application group that item belongs to, port number, description of the application or rule and links to additional information. Custom pie charts can be configured on the Network-wide Settings page under the Configure tab.Ĭlicking on either the pie chart itself or the “More” link underneath the pie chart will open up the Traffic Analysis Details page, showing a detailed list of the specific applications and content types that make up the data shown in the pie chart. The gray arrows flip from one chart to the next. Next to the usage graph at the top of the screen is a pie chart that can display a breakdown of the traffic currently displayed on the page by application, HTTP content type, port number or custom criteria. Since Meraki’s parsers are designed to run at line rate, there is no performance decrease when enabling Traffic Analysis or Traffic Shaping. Traffic Shaper then provides the ability to create custom per-user shaping policies based on this application-level visibility. Packet inspection engines running custom parsers in each AP provide this information by fingerprinting and identifying applications and application groups.

Meraki Enterprise networks offer powerful application visibility and control tools.
