There still is a management problem of simply managing all these MAC
filtering on all the switches in the organization (in case that this is
a big organization, of course).

Depending on your switches, you could use MAC address filtering there,
by specifiying that only certain addresses can use each port.

| I need a solution that will allow me to prevent a user from coming in
| to my office and plugging in a laptop and gaining access to the
| network.
|
| I have users that are currently using thin clients to connect to the
| main server to do all their processing. If a legitimate user turns
| bad and decides to bring in a system (laptop) from home and connect it
| to the network and proceed to use their proper username and password
| to gather information from terminal services, I want to be able to
| recognize that they have plugged in an unauthorized system and keep
| them from gaining access to the network.
|
| I welcome all ideas no matter what vendor solution or no matter how
| simple or complex. If you need more info on the situation let me
| know.
