client-identity-group

Configures a new client identity group

A client identity group is a collection of client identities. Each client identity included in a client identity group is set a priority value that indicates the priority for that identity when device fingerprinting.

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 than Android devices. This unique signature can then be used to classify the devices and assign permissions and restrictions on each device class.

A client identity group can be attached to a profile or device, enabling device fingerprinting on them.

Supported in the following platforms:

  • Access Points — AP505i, AP510i/e, AP560i/h
  • Service Platforms — NX5500, NX7500, NX9500, NX9600, VX9000
