Using the Client Inventory Report
The Client Inventory Report can be used for viewing information about clients that connected to you network. Similar to the Inventory Report, you can filter this report to search for specific devices (such as, "Aruba"). You can also filter this report based on the connection mode (wired or wireless).
This report also gives you the option to filter instead on specific devices and/or users. Whether viewing information for devices or clients, the report can configured to display additional options. For many of these options, you can choose to view all information or a specific set of information (Matching option). If Matching is selected, a text entry field displays. When you put your cursor in the text entry field, an additional side menu displays providing you with a list of available options that you can select.
- AOS Device Type - All or Matching
