300-120 WLSI: Implementing Cisco Wireless Advanced Solutions

Client profiling classifies an endpoint by collecting and evaluating device attributes such as manufacturer, model, operating system, and related network fingerprints. This enables the network to identify device types such as Apple iOS and Samsung Galaxy devices. Device validation may sound similar, but it is not the classification process; client authentication instead verifies an identity, and a four-way handshake establishes Wi-Fi encryption keys.
