Re: Scan for "outsider" Pcs on network

I guess the cleaner has a username and a password to authenticate
its router to the node with 802.1x. If it thats the case, any bad use
of the network with this username would be log. As a network admin you
can even disconect the node. If you have the key, you can open the
door. What we are trying to protect with 802.1X is the access without
the key.

If the cleaner does not have a username and password, sorry, you do
not have access to the network even with your router.

Terrible analogy (but aren't they always?). Let's try again. I'm a cleaner in an office. Rather than the $10 hub I splash out and buy a $30 wireless hub and router. One evening, I unplug a network printer and attach my router to the network and the printer to the router.
Stick it under a table or behind a filing cabinet and in most offices no one will have a clue that it is there. The whole street now has access to your network and 802.1x won't help you one bit.
How does that fit your analogy?
