FortiOS7.0.11 Device Type

Question

Hello,

Recently I've upgraded Fortinet 80E firmware FortiOS6.0.9 to 7.0.11

in previous version of FortiOS i could select all mobile devices in policy. in FortiOS 7.0.11 I couldn't find that selection.

Some says there is no such selection any more. Is there anyway to add all mobile devices on policy?

And my second question is: some of our devices seems wrong. for example my windows os computer shown as android. and i can not change it. how can i change it?

Thanks

Hi @Ozzonation

As I have understand that you are looking for android and IOS devices detection policy.

In FortiOS v6.0.x, the device detection feature contains Device-based policies – Device type/category and detected devices/device groups can be defined as custom devices, and then used in device-based policies.

However after FortiOS v6.2, these functionalities have changed.

Mac-address-based policies – A new address type is introduced (Mac Address Range), which can be used in regular policies. The previous device policy feature can be achieved by manually defining MAC addresses, and then adding them to regular policy table after 6.2. For more information, see MAC Addressed-Based Policies in the FortiOS 6.2.0 New Features Guide.

You can detect devices , using there mac address.
