The HP BYOD (bring-your-own-device) solution lets you design, manage, and control a BYOD network when you configure the BYOD-redirect feature on your switches.
Where BYOD-redirect is enabled on a switch, the device’s client credentials are sent to the BYOD server for registration. The BYOD server stores the registration information for each client’s device (such as the device MAC-address), which gives that client’s device access to the network.
The HP BYOD solution includes:
-
secure user authentication
-
centralized authentication process
-
authorization and accounting
-
unified monitoring and network management services
-
ease-of-use self-registration (on-boarding) process
