We do in fact use IP Phones and run the PCs through the phone's PC port.  That 
setup isn't universal yet, but I would say it is true 75% of the time and 
increasing, so I can't do a hard 1 MAC limit.  Hence why MAB is active at all.  
 All switches are Cisco 2960 or 3560 models.

Hi Robert,

Isn't your switch able to limit access to only one mac per port?
Or isn't that the solution you need? (Or do you use ip-phones and computers on 
same port?)

Bye,
Holger

Subject: [PacketFence-users] Rogue switches

PacketFence experts,


     Is there a means or mechanism within PacketFence, when 802.1x/MAB is in 
use, that will prevent an access port under PF control from allowing another 
switch from working when connected to that port?  I am aware I can use BPDU 
Guard on access ports to stop a switch by killing the port if it is talking 
Spanning-Tree, but I am more interested in stopping small, unmanaged switches 
that don't talk Spanning-Tree that people have a tendency to plug in without 
asking or getting permission.  An earlier thread on this topic did not really 
shed that much light for me...  I appreciate any help and guidance.


Respectfully,
