  • Why are you letting them on your network?

    turn off the dhcp server and use static addresses. Assign the devices to clientless users and then add the groups to the firewall rules.

  • Good question, rfcat_vk. The original post is asking for details on a particular solution for a problem that's not spelled out. The best solution for the actual problem could range from hotspot/sign-in requirements to assigning the target client a static IP address that can be handled separately, or as you answer closing the network to clients not on a pre-specified list. (And of course there are multiple levels of keeping someone off of the network -- depending on what kind of access they actually have.)

    So I'd give you an answer credit if I could, since you got to the root of the problem.
