RE: How to find a changing IP on ethernet network

["Rosenhan, David" <David.Rosenhan () swiftbrands com>]

The other cool thing about dot1x on the Cat6k's is if a user does not
authenticate they can be automatically sent to a "guest" VLAN that may
only have access to the internet or whatever you desire (configuring an
ACL on that VLAN interface), pretty cool stuff!

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.
