Find Unknown MAC addresses pending approval?

2min

Question: How can I find unknown device MAC addresses that are pending approval by an admin?
Answer: Nile detects all MAC addresses of devices connected to Nile Access or Distribution switch port.
Navigate to Nile Portal → Access Management tab →  Wired sub-tab.
In the Search box, key "Waiting for approval", and click the magnifying glass icon 
NIle Portal: MAB Device entries list
﻿
The result is a complete list of entries waiting for approval.  Each row contains:
MAC address
Geolocation
Switch and port
When the new devices was detected.
Three options are optionally available for each entry:  
Do nothing; this leaves the device in the "Waiting for approval" state
Remove the unwanted device entry by clicking the check-box next to the MAC address, and then click the DELETE button.
Allow the device by clicking the check-box next to the MAC address, and then press the APPROVE button.
