Register devices
To register devices, such as gaming devices, you must enter the Vendor OUIs in the Vendor OUI database. When the host connects the device to the network a rogue host record is created.
-
Enter the Vendor OUIs into the database.
-
When entering the Vendor OUI be sure to fill in the Vendor Alias field. This alias displays on the Host View when a device with this Vendor OUI connects to the network.
-
If this device requires a role, select a Role on the Vendor OUI window.
This role is only applied to devices registered manually through the Portal Page.
-
In order to register a device you must make sure that the Registration Type Override field in the Vendor OUI window is set to reflect the correct device type. For example, if this Vendor OUI represents a gaming device, you would select Gaming Device from the list in this field.
-
Once the device is connected to the network, click Hosts > Host View.
-
Locate the record for the rogue device.
-
Select the record. Then, right-click and select Register As Device.
-
See Add a vendor OUI for additional information.
If you are using the Device Profiler feature, these devices may be processed by a Device Profiling Rule that registers them for you.
Device registration after vendor OUI database update
Devices whose Vendor OUIs are not in the database appear in the Host view as rogues when they connect to the network. Once you have entered the Vendor OUI in the database, the information in the Host view displays the Vendor OUI data as part of the rogue record. Use the Vendor Alias to identify the type of device, such as gaming device or security camera, for example. The Vendor Alias is displayed in the Host Name column of the Host view.
- Add the Vendor OUI information to the database. Include the Vendor Alias to aid in grouping the devices.
- Go to the Host View and use the filter tabs or column sort features to locate the devices.
- Select the record(s) and change the device to Registered using the Register As Device option on the right-click menu.
