Wireless Access

Is there a way to block Windows XP users from accessing the wireless network?

Also, is there a way to block specific operating systems from accessing the wireless network?

Thanks.

A way to do this is to use Aruba DHCP Fingerprint: you can create a User Derivation Rule writing the DHCP-Option for specific device or OS and assign it the deny-all role. The DHCP-Fingerprint and the DHCP-Option is explained in this useful guide:

The image showes you how to create a User Rule. After you have to assign this User Rule to the User derivation Rule parameter of the AAA Profile of your SSID.

Thanks, but we currently run AOS 3.4.5.1, is there another option or feature we could use with our current OS?

Thanks.

Are you using ClearPass?  It too is capable of device fingerprinting and you could block access by the OS of the device that's connecting.
