Chris,
          I believe that Akron is using the NAC profiler.  This device detects 
game consoles, phones etc. and then can contact the NAC Manager to put them in 
the appropriate role.  However, I think the profiler is not cheap.

Subject: Automatic Game Console Detection

I have seen reference to having Clean Access automatically detect game 
consoles, rather than filtering individually by MAC address as we already do at 
the University of South Dakota.  For instance, the University of Akron's 
support page tells users, in as many words, "Game consoles are automatically 
detected by Cisco Clean Access."  Does anyone know how this is best 
accomplished?

Thanks,
