Stage 2: Refining Results
W-ClearPass Policy Manager includes a set of rules that evaluates a device profile. The Rules engine uses all
input attributes and device profiles from Stage 1. The resulting rule evaluation may or may not result in a
profile. Stage 2 refines the results of profiling.
Example
With DHCP options, Stage 1 can identify an Android device. Stage 2 uses rules to combine this with the MAC
OUI to further classify an Android device as Samsung Android and HTC Android.
Fingerprint Dictionaries
W-ClearPass Policy Manager uses a set of dictionaries and rules to perform device fingerprinting.
Because these dictionaries can change frequently, W-ClearPass Policy Manager provides a way to automatically
update fingerprints from a hosted portal. The device fingerprints are updated from the Dell W-ClearPass
Update Portal (for more information, see Software Updates and OnGuard Settings on page 693).
To view the contents of the fingerprints dictionary:
1. Navigate to Administration > Dictionaries > Fingerprints.
The Device Fingerprints page opens. This page lists all the device fingerprints recognized by the Profile
module.
