Title: Devices detecting the same devices over and over.
Post by: amichel on February 02, 2024, 09:25:15 pm

When I review my setup, I see the same devices being "discovered" as new devices over and over again although the devices themselves remain the same. It might be that the IP Address is changing but in an environment with DHCP that should be expected.
Is there any intention to make this more reliable?
At the moment it is impossible to create a Policy to block untrusted devices and assume all new devices are untrusted.

Hi,

Is it a mobile device or?

Not all of them.
Some are servers, some are mobiles. Some are VM's and some are physical

I encountered the same problem. Generally speaking, Zenarmor identifies devices by their MAC addresses, but my device list often includes devices with only IPv4 or IPv6 addresses. This is quite troubling because when the IP changes, Zenarmor no longer recognizes the previous device. Although this doesn't affect licensing because the old and new devices won't be online at the same time, it's still very inconvenient.
