Network Fence
Network Fence option creates a network boundary for the devices to behave or function a certain specified way. Admins can configure policies on the devices by assigning jobs to be executed when the device enters or exits a certain Wi-Fi network.
To create a Network Fence job and push it to the enrolled device(s) or group(s), follow these steps:
On the SureMDM Web Console, navigate to Jobs > New Job > macOS > Network Fence.
In the Network Fence prompt, select Enable Network Fencing.
Click Select Fence tab and enter the below details.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| SSID | Provide the Wi-Fi SSID for which the entry & exit conditions should be configured. |
| BSSID | Provide the BSSID corresponding to the specified SSID for which the entry & exit conditions should be configured. This is optional. |
Click Add Fence to add multiple fence configurations.
This feature is supported on macOS devices with SureMDM Agent version ≥ 7.9.0. To enforce BSSID-based Network Fence validation, ensure Location Services are enabled for the SureMDM Agent. Without this permission, the Network Fence will not be created when both SSID and BSSID values are configured.
Select Fence Entered tab, click Add to select the job(s) that will be activated on the device when it enters into a specific Wi-Fi network .
On Select Jobs to Add screen, select the jobs from the list using Ctrl key and click OK.
