Device fingerprinting relies on specific information sent by a wireless client when acquiring IP
address and other configuration information from a DHCP server. The feature uses the DHCP
options sent by the wireless client in the DHCP request or discover packets to derive a unique
signature specific to the class of devices. For example, Apple devices have a different signature
from Android devices. This unique signature can then be used to classify the devices and assign
permissions and restrictions on each device class.
Select Add to create a new Client Identity Group policy. Client Identity Group policies configure the
signatures used to identify clients and then use these signatures to classify and assign
permissions to them.
Click Edit to modify the attributes of a selected policy or Delete to remove obsolete policies from
the list of those available.
