We have users self-register non-802.1X capable devices such a s game consoles, Apple TVs, etc.
We use syslog from our ClearPass RADIUS server to map username to ip address so we can manage Internet bandwidth and either cap speeds for heavy users or let them purchase additional Internet bandwidth. We have some struggles with Chromecast & Roku as we help Aruba debug their AirGroup offering. This works quite well for AirPlay, however.

Hi Everyone, Not looking for a lot of input on all of the things you CAN do- just asking a focused question for those that are doing it. We're piloting the ability for students to self-register games, TVs, Roku, etc. but am astounded at how hard some devices are to find MAC addresses for from the user side. Amazon Echo is notorious, also fighting with a Roku 2. No labels, not easy to find in menu. Sure, you can find all of this on APs, but that isn't "self-service" for self-registration. Anyone have thoughts, comments, scars, suggestions? I know Clearpass and ISE can fingerprint, but I'm finding that's far from accurate at times, and again- doesn't help with "register YOUR device by MAC" for users that can't see what network admins use. -Lee Badman Lee H.
