Management of Port Descriptions (LX, MX Only)

Use the Port Description tab to view information about the ports on the appliance.

Different ports are used depending on the application. LX and MX appliances let you add a description of these ports for display in reports. For various Real-Time reports, the appliance lets a description display with Source (SRC) or Destination Port fields. This provides more detail information about the specific Real-Time reports, because you can have custom applications for different ports. The industry standard definitions are included by default.

You can access the Port Descriptions tab from Administration > Port Descriptions on any LX or MX appliance.
