How Can I Prevent Unauthorized Laptops From Using A Network That Uses Dhcp For Dynamic Addressing? |
|
Answer» This would have to be DONE using a mechanism other than DHCP. DHCP does not prevent other clients from using the ADDRESSES it is set to hand out nor can it DISTINGUISH between a computer’s permanent MAC address and ONE set by the computer’s user. DHCP can impose no restrictions on what IP address can use a PARTICULAR port nor control the IP address used by any client. This would have to be done using a mechanism other than DHCP.
