How does Clearpass check which device is which?

  • 1.  How does Clearpass check which device is which?

    Posted Nov 19, 2014 03:33 PM

    Hello guys and girls,

     

    I was trying to figure out how to check in clearpass how it know it's for example a mobile, or a laptop.

     

    This is because I thought I read somewhere (can't remember where), that I needed to configure on remote switches where AP's are connected to, a ip helper address to point to the clearpass.

     

    Otherwise it would not know if it's a laptop or mobile.

     

    Could someone help me please?

     

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    You can also go to the following in Clearpass:

     

    Configuration > Identity > Endpoints

     

    to see how those devices are currently being classified within the system.
