client-identity

Associates an existing and configured client identity (device fingerprinting definition) with this client identity group

Supported on the following devices:

Syntax

client-identity <CLIENT-IDENTITY-NAME> precedence <1-10000>

Parameters

client-identity <CLIENT-IDENTITY-NAME> precedence <1-10000>
client-identity <CLIENT-IDENTITY-NAME> Associates a client identity with this group
  • <CLIENT-IDENTITY-NAME> – Specify a client identity name (should be existing and configured)
precedence <1-10000> Determines the order in which client identity is used.
  • <1-10000> – Specify this client identity precedence from <1-10000>.

The client identity rule is applied based on its precedence value. Lower the value, higher is the precedence. Therefore, a client identity with precedence 5 gets priority over a client identity having precedence 20.

The following example shows two client identities created and configured:

The following example associates client identity ‘test‘ with the client identity group ‘test‘:

nx9500-6C8809(config-client-identity-group-test)#client-identity test precedence 1

The following example shows the client identity group ‘test‘ with two associated client identities having precedence 1 and 2:

nx9500-6C8809(config-client-identity-group-test)#client-identity TestClientIdentity precedence 2
nx9500-6C8809(config-client-identity-group-test)#show context
client-identity-group test
 client-identity test precedence 1
 client-identity TestClientIdentity precedence 2
nx9500-6C8809(config-client-identity-group-test)#
