Sleeping Client–Timeout duration for a specific sleeping client (in hours)

The user can configure these policies and enforce end-points with specified policies. The wireless clients 
will be profiled based on MAC OUI, DHCP, HTTP user agent (valid Internet is required for successful 
HTTP profiling). The WLC uses these attributes and predefined classification profiles to identify 
devices. 

In 7.5 release, only embedded or built-in profiles are available on the WLC through which it can identify 
devices.

In later releases, it should be possible to create user-defined profiles, which will take precedence over 
the embedded profiles. Currently there are 88 built-in profiles and can be viewed through WLC CLI 
prompt. 

Go to WLC and run 

show profiling policy summary

. For the purpose of this document we just 

displayed the first 6 profile.

To configure device profiling on a WLAN through GUI, go to the WLAN (here we created WLAN 
Demo-Employee) and click Advance, then enable DHCP by checking the Required check box. After 
enabling the DHCP required option, scroll down and under Local Client Profiling enable DHCP 
Profiling and HTTP Profiling by checking the respective check boxes and click Apply.
