RE: How to find a changing IP on ethernet network

["Hoang, Binh P,,DMDCWEST" <Hoangbp () osd pentagon mil>]

Yeah, 802.1x is cool!
We're in the process of implementing 802.1x for our Wireless LAN (using
Cisco Aironet 1200 Aps). It is a lot more secure than WEP. Another buzzword
that cisco is throwing around is Network Admission Control(NAC), which is
part of their newCisco Self-Defending Network Initiative. Cisco is working
with several anti-virus vendors to develop what they call Cisco Trust Agent
that resides on an endpoint system and communicates with the Cisco network.
What this agent does is, it collects informatin from anti-virus clients and
communicates this info to the Cisco network where access control decisions
are made/enforced. 
As of right now, Cisco has partnership with NAI,Symantec and Trend Micro,
but they said that they will have more partners in the future.

This sounds pretty interesting, doesn't it.

Hey there,

Port Security is a good Cisco feature for a small LAN but when working with
large networks with roaming users, I would use Port Authentication in
conjunction with Port Security.  Cisco's new buzzword for this is Identity
Based Network Security (IBNS) and uses 802.1x at the client level
(supplicant) to authenticate the user against a RADIUS server. The switch
acts as an authentication proxy and will enable or disable the port based on
the RADIUS response to the MD5 challenge.  The best part of doing dot1x with
Port Security is that the MAC addresses are stored in the user profile
centrally and don't require each switch port to be hard-coded with the MAC
address.

I'm sure he meant SNMP trap not SMTP. Anyhow, it's all good!

Hi David, 

If this wasn't the security basics list I would not have replied :) 
The trap you refer to is of course an SNMP trap not SMTP trap (sorry about
being @nal)

K.

  If you're using Cisco Catalyst switches, this feature is called "port
security".  Enable it, tell it how many MAC addresses to allow per port, and
whether, when this number 
is exceeded, to issue an SMTP trap to your Network Management 
package, or shut down the switch port.
  Of course, if you're using some other equipment, you need
to find out what features, if any, that equipment offers.
