Protect unauthenticated users to access network in DHCP mode

asger 2

Hello All,

We are using DHCP to distribute IP address in our netwok but my problem is when anyone comes with laptop and plug into network port they get internet/intranet access without any autehtication.

Now we need to protect it the access of internet/intranet so is there any opensource software/solution for it.

Thanks and Regards,

Asger

A DHCP server will provide any host an IP address upon request. From what I read, you can configure your DHCP to supply an IP address to specific network interfaces. There are serveral configuration files that will allow you to do this. Read RedHat's configuring a DHCP server.
