Configuring Application Control; Recommended Configuration Procedure; Loading Applications - HP MSR SERIES Configuration Manual

Configuring application control

You can load applications, configure a custom application, and enable application control in the Web
interface.
Application control allows you to control which applications and protocols users can access on the
Internet by specifying the destination IP address, protocol, operation type, and port. Application control
can be based on a group of users or all users in a LAN. This chapter describes the application control
based on all users. For application control based on user group, see "Configuring user groups."
The application control function applies to only the outbound direction of WAN interfaces.
