Information About Device Analytics
The Device Analytics feature enhances the enterprise Wi-Fi experience for client devices to ensure seamless connectivity. This feature provides a set of data analytics tools for analyzing wireless client device behavior. With device profiling enabled on the controller, information is exchanged between the client device and the controller and AP. This data is encrypted using AES-256-CBC to ensure device security.
Starting from Cisco IOS XE Bengaluru 17.6.1, this feature is supported on Intel devices with AC9560, AC8561, AX201, AX200, AX1650, AX210, AX211, and AX1675 chipsets. Device information and other information received from the Intel devices are shared with Cisco Catalyst Center. It will also be used to enhance device profiling on the controller.
Note |
From Cisco IOS XE Dublin 17.12.1, MacBook Analytics is supported on the controller when the MacBook device sends 11k action frames along with the model information. |
Note |
Apple clients such as iPhones and iPads use 802.11k action frames to send device information to the controller. When they fail to send 802.11k action frames, the controller will not perform device classification based on the 802.11 protocol. Hence, this falls back to legacy device classification which is based on HTTP and DHCP protocols. |
