Description
This article describes how to update the client OS type correctly in “show station” output on the Forti-WLC.

Solution
For the below client, OS type is not updated in “ show station” output on the controller.
FWC2HD-1(15)# show station

MAC Address       IP Type APID AP Name L2 Mode  L3 Mode Authenticated User Name  Tag/ID RF Band        IP Mode Client IP   Station Type OS Type                VLAN Pool Name                 

d0:04:01:c3:68:b5 DHCP    185  AP-185 none      clear                            201    802.11bgn1s20  IPv4    10.201.0.2  wireless     37012103060f1c333a3b2b Station Table(1 entry)

The above output displays DHCP fingerprint, instead of the client OS Type, because the client OS type and corresponding DHCP fingerprint is not added to the controller.
The client OS type can be manually added to the fingerprint list on the controller as below:
# configure terminal
(config)# fingerprint add " OS Type" "DHCP Fingerprint hexadecimal"
To verify whether the client OS Type got added successfully, please execute the below command.
# show fingerprints
For example:
(config)# fingerprint add " Android-MP-Mobile" "370a012103060f1c333a3b2b"Android-MP-Mobile:370a012103060f1c333a3b2b valid entry
# show fingerprints
 ID | Option 55 Description | Hexadecimal characters
  1   Android-MP-Mobile       370a012103060f1c333a3b2b

Configuration Using WebUI, Configuration > Devices > Device Fingerprint
To add a new device OS type, click the ADD button and enter the device name and the associated hexadecimal characters (starting with 37 or 3c) and then click SAVE to add this device to the list.

Note: Client OS type works only for the DHCP client and not for the static IP clients.
