Unapproved devices are devices that have registered with a bridge, the b=
ridge has notified UDM Pro of the registration, but the administrator has n=
ot yet approved the device to do anything more than simply register. Consid=
er that the process of registering is asking permission to use the totality=
of services that the bridge and UDM Pro can offer.
Unapproved devices display the same type of information that an approved de=
vice would show.
Unapproved Devices are listed by the following columns:
One item that is unique to unapproved devices that is not on proper devi=
ces is the action Approve. Approving a device is acknowled=
ging that you know what the device is, where it is and that it is a known p=
art of your phone infrastructure
Caution! Never approve=
devices that you do not know. The stance that you should take is that you =
cannot know if the you are approving is, in fact, a device that you trust. =
It might be a rogue phone (or a program emulating a phone) that someone has=
attached to your network. Approving the device might give the person the a=
bility to improperly use your phone system for a wide variety of purposes t=
hat violate your policies, such as toll theft to mention only one.
Many environments use safeguards that are network-based. For example, the a=
ct of plugging in a phone without allowing communication beyond a network d=
evice (typically a switch) prevents the type of abuse vector that approval =
in UDM Pro is designed to prevent. In these cases, use of a feature in UDM =
Pro and common to phone provisioning, zero-touch approval (ZTA) is an optio=
n that reduces the administrative effort of manually approving new devices =
by allowing the system to accept and approve new devices automatically.
