Secure DHCP

by philldmc . Updated 15 years, 4 months ago

I’m running a small network about 90 clients and a few servers, over 100 nodes. My primary server is server 2003 sp2, running DNS and DHCP.

Our company has a policy that unless the company owns the equipment it may not be allowed to access any network resources. With that being said, I recently discovered that an employee was connecting their personal laptop to the network via a wired cable.

The employee was reprimanded for their actions..however this made me think how I can prevent this from happening again. With a little over 100+ nodes I don’t want to have to preprogram all the mac addresses into the DHCP.

Wondering what methods you use to prevent users from plugging their personal devices into your network? I can secure the wireless but I’m referring to a wired connection. Any suggestions?
