RE: MAC Authentication device

["Mike" <mike () superiorholidayadventures ca>]

If you're trying to stop rogue devices from accessing your network you
could configure your DHCP server to only hand out IP addresses to MACs
that are in your access list.  

What kind of DHCP server are you using?

Beware that MAC's can be spoofed.
