Yes, if you go to Configure> Open the Network Policy you are working with> Additional Settings tab> On the left hand side menu under QOS OPTIONS, choose Classifier Maps> Toggle this to on> Name the object> Click ADD under Services> Choose Application Services (second option down on the window that comes up)> Click on the blue text "Select from the following:"> In the filter field search for "APPLE UPDATE"> Check the box next to this service> Save> Choose a QoS Class to classify Apple updates as (I would recommend Best Effort 2 for a lower priority when there is contention on the network)> Leave the action as Permit and choose your logging preferences> Save> Save> Push this out to your APs in a configuration update.

Thank you, I found it.

In reference to this, is there any report that shows application service and QoS Class that was used? I configured it like you recommended and now I want to verify if "Apple updates" are really in "Best Effort 2".

Hi, If you have enabled 'logging', you can look at the log entries through CLI by the command - 'show logging buffered'.

You could also see this in a packet capture (remote sniffer to see the traffic on the AP, and a mirrored port packet capture to catch the switch side of things).
