Updating JUNOS Software Application Identification Extracted Application Package Overview

Juniper Networks regularly updates the predefined application identification application package database and makes it available on the Juniper Networks website. The application package download can be performed manually or automatically, and the download command handles the download and installation of the application package. If you have an IDP-enabled device and will use application identification, we recommend that you only download the IDP signature database. This will avoid having two versions of the application database, which may become out of sync. For information on the IDP signature database download that contains its own application database, see Understanding the IDP Signature Database.

Note: Uninstalling the application package will not remove any custom application or nested application definitions that you have created. All predefined Juniper applications have the prefix “junos”, so make sure you do not use “junos” for your custom definition names.
