Creating a MAC Registration Workflow

Note: Creating a workflow is another method of adding a MAC registration list. Within a workflow, you have the option of creating a new MAC registration list or selecting an existing MAC registration list. If you want to create a registration configuration before creating your workflow, refer to Configuring MAC Registration Lists in the Cloudpath UI. During a successful enrollment process with the workflow, MAC addresses are be added to the specified MAC registration list. This section uses an example of creating a workflow split as part of the process.

  1. Go to Configuration > Workflow and select Add Workflow.
  2. With the "Create a new Workflow" button selected, click Next.
  3. On the Create Workflow page, enter the new workflow information and Save.
