Why clientless users cannot be reactivated after disconnection ?

Slawski

I tried to cut off network traffic generated by clientless user and clicked "Disconnect". The client was disconnected and no longer was able to use the Policy but... I was not able to reactive that client. Changing status to off and again to on did not help. Clientless "user" had been in Disconnected state until firwall reboot.

Is it a bug or feature ?

    Slawski,

    I noticed this behavior too since beta 5.

    In my case the clientless users will reappear when it gets the ip from XG dhcp server scope.

    I did not test the behavior with a device with static ip but clientless feature is still a bit confusing.

    On v15 each day the XG was reconnecting all the clientless users everyday automatically (there is a my question on it) but now something changed.

    We expect more info from Sachin or Prateek.

    I'm not using static IPs. I have DHCP reservations on SFOS. And yes those devices renew leases but clientless user reappeared only after reboot.

    We have "status" which can be "active" or "inactive" and we have "Disconnect". It seams that we must not use "Disconnect" (so , what was the idea of including it at all ? ).
