Hello all. I was hoping for some feedback on some improvement I'm hoping to make at a couple of clients as it relates to their wired network. A bit of a background...

The following 5 methods are, as far as I see it, the potential options I have: 1. Lockdown switchports by individual MAC addresses
Netdisco can help with this, somewhat. So can RANCID, if you have Cisco equipment.
2. Implementing IPSec 3. 802.1x on the Wired network 4. A NAC device (HP, Cisco, etc.)
There are some open source NAC implementations. See FreeNAC, Netreg, and Ungoliant.
5. MAC Authentication via RADIUS
Doesn't necessarily require MS IAS - FreeRadius and other OSS implementations can do a lot of heavy lifting for you, if coupled with LDAP. Nice spreadsheet, though. Kurt
