Technical Tip: How FortiNAC 'Registered Hosts' Group Works

Registered Hosts Group is one of the FortiNAC groups where non-rogue host/devices automatically become members of.

1) It is possible to manually add users under Users & Hosts -> Hosts, or it is possible to select the rogue host and select either 'Register as Device' or 'Register as Host'.

2) Hosts automatically registered using Device profiling rules or Radius Authentication, they will be members of this group.

How it is possible to leverage from it:

1) First create a Role under Policy & Objects, then assign 'Registered Hosts' group to it.

2) Then go to User/Host Profiles, create a new policy and select 'Add' for 'Who/What by Attribute:'.

From the 'Filter' menu, select 'Hosts' tab, then enable 'Role' and select the role previously created from the drop down menu.

(Refresh the browser for new roles to be displayed).
