Description

 

This article describes the behavior where a host unexpectedly becomes registered as a Device instead of being registered to a user record.


The behavior can occur if a host becomes unregistered (through aging or some other mechanism) and then matches a feature configured to automatically register a Rogue as a Device.  Possible features include:    

  • Device Profiling Rule  (Hosts > Profiled Devices lists hosts registered with this method)
  • Passive Agent Rule (used in conjunction with the Persistent or Passive Agent)
  • Credential Configuration (Register as a Device if a Persistent Agent is detected on the host)


Scope


FortiNAC v8.x, v9.x, vF7.x .


Solution

 

Review the above-mentioned features and make changes as necessary.  Refer to the Administration Guide for additional information on these features:
