for instance), that hostname is included for the device when
it is first added to the
DEVICE AUTHENTICATION screen. If no
hostname is associated with the device, it will be added

for a device that has no hostname.
User Auth - configures whether the Bridge will require the
device’s user to authenticate before allowing the device to
connect to the encrypted zone (
Enabled) or allow the device
access without user authentication (
Disabled).
Auth State Mode - configures the initial state of the device’s
connection to the encrypted zone:
Allow First - the device will be allowed to connect using
the first key establishment method it attempts to use.
Once the device is connected the Bridge will
automatically detect any other key establishment
methods the connecting device supports, and you can
specify those you wish to allow the device to use for
subsequent connections to the network. If you want the
device to be able to use a supported key establishment
method other than that used for the initial connection,
you must manually enable it for the device.
Deny All - prevents all access to the network; all the
device’s attempts to exchange keys will be denied.
Defer - whether the device is allowed to connect
depends upon the local authentication server’s

Device State
setting (Section 4.3.2).
Authed Keys - after a device has been added to the Bridge’s
device authentication database and allowed to connect,
you can specify the key establishment method(s) the
device will be allowed to use for subsequent connections.
Available options are limited to the key establishment
method(s) the device has previously used to try to connect.
