IdentiFi device type access

IdentiFi device type access

Hello, all!

In controller we can see statistics by Operating Systems, Device Type, etc.
Can we restrict access for device type with rules?
(without NAC, only with Controller)

For example Android devices and Apple devices.

Thank you!

just my 2 cents on the topic...

Device fingerprinting is done by the AP directly and not by the WLAN controller.

I've no idea how often this data is tx back to the controller but it could be that it's done together with statistics data which isn't that often.

In that case the controller doesn't has this device type data handy at the point of the authentication process.

NAC have possibility to access control based on the device type and client OS?
Can you show me screen-shots or web-link with images of this configuration in NAC?

Thank you!

Here a example of the default groups....

Hi Volker

NAC also utilizes DHCP-Snooping to identify the device type...
Only once NAC is able to resolve the IP does the Device Type appear.
This should be the same process....
