Using the Client Inventory Report
The Client Inventory Report can be used for viewing information about clients that have connected to you network.
Similar to the Inventory Report, you can filter this report to search for specific devices (such as, "Aruba"). You can also
filter this report based on the connection mode (wired or wireless).
This report also gives you the option to filter instead on specific devices and/or users. Whether viewing information for
devices or clients, the report can configured to display additional options. For many of these options, you can choose to
view all information or a specific set of information (Matching option). If Matching is selected, a text entry field
displays. When you put your cursor in the text entry field, an additional side menu displays providing you with a list of
available options that you can select.
l AOSDevice Type - All or Matching
l Device Manufacturer - All or Matching
l Device Model - All or Matching
l Device Type - All or Matching
l OSSummary - All or Matching
l Steerable Clients
l Asset Category - All or Matching
l Asset Group - All or Matching
l Device Manufacturer and Model
l Device OSDetail - All or Matching
l EAP Supplicant - All or Matching
l Last Role
l Last Authentication Type
l Last Connection Mode
l Last SSID
l Network Chipset - All or Matching
l Network Driver - All or Matching
l Network Vendor
This report allows you to include details about every client, for example, the User Name, MACAddress, Role, AP Radio
information, and more. Finally, you can limit this report to include devices that active or inactive at the time when this
report is run.
Example
The following example configures a Client Inventory Report that summarizes information for iPhone, iPod, and iPad
devices on your network and how those devices are connecting. This report turns off the Device Manufacturer and OS
summaries because these are only Apple (manufacturer) and iOS(OS) devices. The report omits the Device Model
Summary option because, in this case, the information will be redundant with Device Type.
The report output shows a summary of the last connection mode and the last SSID for all devices. This can help
determine where and how the clients are connecting.
