What Terminal Types Can Be Identified Using the Terminal Type Identification Function? How Can I View Information About the Identified Terminals?

The terminal types that can be identified using the terminal type identification function depend on the configured identification policy. After the terminal type identification function is configured, the device can identify terminal types by analyzing MAC addresses, DHCP option information, and user agent (UA) information of terminals. This function allows administrators to conveniently control terminal access and manage terminals' rights based on terminal types. For example, after the terminal type identifier huawei is configured in a terminal type identification profile, the device can identify the specified terminal type. If the MAC address, UA information, or DHCP option information of a terminal matches the identification rule configured in the profile, the type of this terminal is identified as huawei.

To configure a terminal type identification rule on the device, run the rule rule-id { mac mac-address mask { mask-length | mask } | dhcp-option option-id { sub-match | all-match } { ascii option-text | hex option-hex-string } | user-agent { sub-match | all-match } user-agent-text } command in the terminal type identification profile view.

Run the display device-profile profile-name profile-name command to check the configuration of the terminal type identification profile.
