If you want to force wired clients that joined the wired network through an authentication portal to reauthenticate themselves, you can deauthorize them. Deauthorized wired clients remain connected to the wired network, but these clients will be redirected to the authentication portal whenever they attempt to access network resources.
Follow these steps to deauthorize a wired client.
-
On the menu, click
.
-
From the list wired clients, locate the client that you want to deauthorize. If you have a large number of wired clients and you know the MAC address of the client, enter the MAC address in the search box, and then press
Enter to search for the client.
-
When you have located the client, select it, and then click the
Deauthorize button above the table.
The table refreshes, and then the client that you deauthorized disappears from the list.
