Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

After a terminal type identifier is configured in a terminal type identification profile, the terminal type can be identified in the profile. Assume that the terminal type identifier is set to huawei. If the MAC address, UA, or DHCP Option information that an AC receives from a terminal matches the identification rule configured in the terminal type profile, the terminal type is huawei. This helps administrators to perform access control and rights management for the terminal based on the identified terminal type.

Precautions

The device-type command is cyclic in nature, and only the latest configuration takes effect.

Example

# In the terminal type identification profile huawei, configure the terminal type identifier huawei_1.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] device-profile profile-name huawei
[HUAWEI-device-profile-huawei] device-type huawei_1
