cisco PI client station vendor type

[Mohamed Sayed]

hi all,

i have cisco PI when i go to monitor>clients 

i can see all the connected clients to my network as long as i can see their station vendor type "Dell,HP,Samsung,....."

I need to know how PI can detect the vendor type ?!

thanks in advance

device profiling can be done different way (like looking at DHCP, HTTP, OUI, etc). Refer below

So PI can collect these information from WLC & report to you

PI uses a OUI lookup table for making this translation, just like this website does. Click here for more information abount managing the OUI table in PI.
