• BArubaOS devices (controllers and lAPs) can use DHCP fingerprints to assign roles to clients.
• CArubaOS devices can use a combination of DHCP fingerprints, HTTP User-Agent strings, and
• DArubaOS-Switches can use DHCP fingerprints to construct detailed endpoint profiles.

Explanation

Without the integration of Aruba ClearPass or other advanced network access control solutions, ArubaOS devices (controllers and Instant APs) are able to use DHCP fingerprinting to assign roles to clients. This method allows the devices to identify the type of client devices connecting to the network based on the DHCP requests they send. While this is a more basic form of endpoint classification compared to the capabilities provided by ClearPass, it still enables some level of access control based on device type. This functionality and its limitations are described in Aruba's product documentation for ArubaOS devices, highlighting the benefits of integrating a full-featured solution like ClearPass for more granular and powerful endpoint classification capabilities.
