Classification::SignatureUpdateSchedule

Introduced : BIG-IP_v11.4.0
The classification methods have some signatures, and these signatures change with time. For example, the signatures to identify the Skype traffic working now may not work later. Thus the classification signatures need to be updated. This signature update schedule interface enables you to configure the schedule for classification signature updates. The signatures can be updated automatically or manually. If the automatic update is set to disabled, the user can update the classification signatures using the browser-based BIG-IP Configuration utility. If the automatic update is set to enabled, the update schedules daily, weekly, or monthly then takes effect. Both the automatic update and schedule can be configured through this interface. Please specify the following key in all methods in the interface: &apos/Common/signature-update-schedule&apos.
