I imagine the following scenario: someone walks into my office building with a laptop (a colleague, a visitor, a guest, whoever), and hooks up onto the local net (wired or wireless). The server detects an unknown MAC address, issues a bogus dhcp lease which resolves all dns queries to a single internal web page with a form the user is supposed to fill in and send. After he does so, an administrator does a sanity check of the data the user provided, and grants or denies access. If access is granted, the user gets a new, unrestricted dhcp lease, which provides him with a normal access to local network.
So what are my options?
Maybe a Network Access Control solution, either from a vendor such as Cisco or a "roll your own" with something like http://freenac.org.
Ok, this looks promising, I'll give it a detailed look tomorrow. Thanks for the info! :-)
Best, :-) Marko
