Here at the college we perform something similar to what you describe using the netreg package (open source - http://www.netreg.org). The user turns on the computer and has an IP address assigned from the DHCP pool. We don't allow external DNS servers, all dns queries return to one site locally where they go to 'register', and this pool has router restrictions to prevent them from going anywhere off campus. We then have them click through a website where we scan the machines for a number of worms (with local links for downloading the fixes), and then have them authticate using a variety of methods. This allows the network card to be used on the network and after a reboot the dhcp server gives them new dns and ip information outside the scope of the restrictions. I understand this isn't real detailed and doesn't match your needs 100% but it may give you some ideas for a 'homebrew' solution. Good luck, Ed Spencer MCSE/MCT/MCP/CNA/A+/Network+Security+ University of Alaska Fairbanks "Nagy Gergely" <gergely.nagy () is-energy hu> wrote:
Hi all, Do you have a solution for the following: I would need a DHCP quarantine which works as a virtual lan or something. The main role would be to check all the PCs that connect to the LAN for security patches and viruses before leting them to connect to the real one. If they comply to the company policy they can be forwarded to the real and live network where they can work as usualy the do. I have searched the net, but couldn't find anything like this. I could find this solution for dial-in and VPN users, but not for local ones. Any help would be kindly appreciated. Greg Ez a level virusellenorzesen esett at!
