• iNode client.
• DHCP character.
• HTTP user agent.
• MAC address.
Endpoint identification by the iNode client is an automatic process and does not require a parameter to
be configured in UAM. The following information describes the endpoint identification methods except
the iNode client method.
Managing DHCP characters
UAM works with the DHCP agent to identify endpoint information from DHCP requests. The DHCP agent
is installed on the DHCP server, and monitors DHCP requests to provide the DHCP character strings to
UAM. UAM searches the DHCP characters for a match to determine the endpoint information.
