With the cisco 350 I can register the network cards by MAC address. Preventing anyone from stealing a ip address. >40 ip addresses should be a no brainer to administer. I am terrible lazy... some of the students will be using laptops in this building and on the main campus. Roaming laptops..???? I was hoping I could register the MAC (with the Aironet) on student housding building and the main campus. We are a small school so chances are I can get by with this..
