How to tag device as different OS

[mr_mahoney]

We have a policy to block android and allow Chrome OS.   Sometimes our Chromebooks show an OS of the following:  CHONGQING FUGUI... Android

Question:  How do we change this to Chrome OS?

Here is a video of the issue:

The symptom:   device login is hindered:  "sign in to network" is displayed but never gets past

Keywords:  login hangs TAG os change

Hi @mr_mahoney,

I do not believe this can be changed on the dashboard as the access point will use the User-Agent string field of an HTTP GET request packet to determine the operating system of the client when it first associates, and allow or deny access accordingly.

Some clients may misidentify themselves when specifying the User-Agent string field of an HTTP GET request.

Device type policy enforcement is done on a best-effort basis, dependent upon the information that the client provides. When needing to enforce security-focused policies based on device type, please leverage solutions such as Meraki Systems Manager, or Cisco ISE. 

Please take a look at this KB for your reference.
