Device fingerprinting relies on specific information sent by a client when acquiring an IP address
and configuration information from a DHCP server. Device fingerprinting uses the DHCP options
sent by the wireless client in DHCP request or discover packets to derive a signature specific to a
device class. For example, Apple devices have a different signature from Android devices. The
signature is used to classify the devices and assign permissions and restrictions on each class.
Select Add to create a new policy, Edit to modify the attributes of an existing policy or Delete to
remove obsolete policies from the list of those available.
Client identity group policies configure the signatures used to identify clients and use the
signatures to classify and assign network access permissions.
If adding a new client identity group, provide a 32 character maximum name and select the OK
button at the bottom of the screen.
Select the + Add Row button to populate the screen Class Identity and Precedence parameters.
