We are running 4.7 NAC and I'm looking into my Game Console Role that we have 
been using for several years.  What I've noticed is that the game consoles are 
no longer able to get an IP address from our DHCP server if the corresponding 
MAC filters are placed into our Game Console Role.  If I change the Access Type 
from Role to Allow, the gaming consoles can get an IP and start working.  If I 
change the Access Type back from Allow to Role, the game consoles are no longer 
able to get an IP.  What I'm curious is what traffic policies should I change 
in order to place these devices back into our Game Console Role so that we can 
force anyone with an Xbox, PS2, or Wii to share bandwidth.

Here's what I have set for our Game Console Role as I have opened it up 
completely (as before we just had the specific gaming ports open):

Then, on the Role Bandwidth I have defined the bandwidth amount and set it to 
shared.  Any thoughts?  There seems to be a disconnect on the DHCP 
request/acknowledge that doesn't work if I place the filters into this role.  
Any thoughts?  Am I missing something as far as my DHCP server??

Thanks
