How can I stop valid users with home laptops from acquiring a netconnection

by disaster recovery . Updated 13 years, 8 months ago

I have just been hired by a small company that has outsourced its switch and router management to its IP Phone vendor. I have users that bring in home laptops and plug them in to the network. This cannot continue as I have HIPPA data on my network. Is there a way to prevent these rogue devices from network access.

I can’t through the normal switch management (no administrative access) so the sticky MAC is out. I have users that believe policies don’t apply to them. I need to keep these devices from getting a connection.
