Question - Network Registry.

Security Folks:


Cornell would like to know if any of you require by University policy or
protocol or practice
that all devices connected to your data network be registered. For
example, a mandatory record in a database of the MAC addresses and
custodians or responsible parties or users for all devices connected to
your wired or wireless
infrastructure.

If the answer to the above is yes -

Is this registry accomplished by a single central database, or a "registry of
registries" - i.e. many registries, managed at the subnet / department
level, with the data in each available to the central computing /
administration / security "authority."

Many thanks

Tracy
