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.
