Clientless Users - Improve Reporting

Using Clientless users is a nice step forward but Reporting does not respect the effectiveness of the Clientless connection and bandwidth used.

Clientless users are automatically logged in everyday by XG so how much they are live does not reflect the real clientless uptime. For example if a server mapped as clientless user is down for 3 hours, inside the reporting, the respective clientless reports false data.

Also should be possible to bind even mac-addresses to clientless users.

Thanks

  • Hi All,

    The traffic report for Clientless User will be based on the usage, the report won't be calculated in relation to the user's active/live hours. Alongside, Internet Usage reports are being logged for only authenticated users. These reports would not be available for any unauthenticated user. For Clientless users of XG, Internet usage reports would be available on next day at 12:00 AM, as these users, never get logged out until administrator deactivates the user. 

    Bind clientless users with MAC-Addresses is a good feature and I support it. But, that is possible if you define a Static IP-MAC Mapping within the DHCP Server settings in XG.

    Thanks
