Revoking a Wireless Client
You can force wireless clients that joined the wireless network through an authentication portal (for example, a hotspot, guest access, or web authentication portal) to reauthenticate themselves by revoking or deauthorizing them. The revoked wireless clients remain connected to the wireless network but are redirected to the authentication portal whenever they attempt to access network resources.
Note:
- You must have administrator privileges to revoke access and remove a client.
- Revoking access only works for clients currently connected through a captive portal network.
- You might consider revoking a wireless client device for the following
reasons:
- Network abuse
- Violation of acceptable use policy
- Theft
- Security compromise
