Configuring Device Access Policies
In response to the growing numbers of personally owned mobile devices such as
smart phones and tablets being brought into the network, IT departments are
requiring more sophisticated control over how devices connect, what types of
devices can connect, and what they are allowed to do once connected.
Using the Device Access Policy settings, ZoneDirector can identify the type of client
attempting to connect, and perform control actions such as permit/deny, rate limiting
and VLAN tagging based on the device type.
Once a Device Access Policy has been created, you can apply the policy to any
WLANs for which you want to control access by device type. You could, for example,
allow only Apple OS devices on one WLAN and only Linux devices on another.
To create a Device Access Policy
1 Go to Configure > Access Control .
2 In the Device Access Policy section, click Create New .
3 Enter a Name and optionally a description for the access policy.
4 In Default Mode , select Deny all by default or Allow all by default .
5 In Rules , you can create multiple OS-specific rules for each access policy.
• Description: Description of the rule.
• OS/Type: Select from any of the supported client types.
• Type: Select rule type (allow or deny)
• Uplink/Downlink: Set rate limiting for this client type.
• VLAN: Segment this client type into a specified VLAN (1~4094; if no value
entered, this policy does not impact device VLAN assignment).
6 Click
Save
to save the rule you created. You can create up to nine rules per
access policy (one for each OS/Type).
7 To change the order in which rules are implemented, click the up or down arrows
in the
Action column. You can also
Edit
or
Clone
rules from the Action column.
To delete a rule, select the box next to the rule and click Delete .
8 Click OK to save the access policy. You can create up to 32 access policies (one
access policy per WLAN).
