USING ENDPOINT HOST CHECKING TO CLASSIFY UNMANAGED DEVICES IN A NETWORK AND TO IMPROVE NETWORK LOCATION AWARENESS

摘要

A device receives, from a managed device, endpoint information associated with an unmanaged device connected to the managed device in a network. The device also receives unmanaged device information that partially identifies the unmanaged device, and completely identifies the unmanaged device based on the endpoint information and the unmanaged device information.

主权项

1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a computing device and from a first device, endpoint information associated with an endpoint device connected to the first device in a network, the endpoint information comprising configuration settings of the first device for the endpoint device; receiving, by the computing device, device information associated with the endpoint device; determining, by the computing device, that the endpoint device comprises a particular type of device based on the device information; determining, by the computing device, that the endpoint device comprises a particular model of the particular type of device based on the endpoint information; and selecting a network functionality for providing to the endpoint device based on the endpoint device comprising the particular model of the particular type of device.
