how to block rj45 sockets.

2006-10-02 Thread Marwan Sultan

Hello All,

Well, seems no one has any answer for my previuos question, So I will just 
rephase the Question.


I have a 66 wall rj45 sockets devided by 4 Belking SwitchHubs connected to 
FreeBSD 6.1-R

Server acting as internet gateway.

Can by anyhow block some sockets (ports) from the serve?
is there any creative way to block some sockets and keep others?

I dunt want to restrict by MAC adrs, just the wall socket..any ideas? or its 
just impossible.


Thank you all
 Marwan

Get real switching hardware to replace those Belkins.  Cisco and other
switches will allow you to enable/disable ports on demand.

Don't top-post.

There are a number of vendors who sell "managed" switches.  I don't
recommend any of them.  I think Cisco is worth the extra money.

However, most manufactures who sell switches have a line of "managed"
switches.  I don't recommend Dells, but they do exist.  3Com has them --
just about anyone who's serious about selling networking equipment
has them.

This is refeered to as manageable switch, or managed switch, or SNMP
manageable.

See with your prefered dealer according to your budget.

Of course if the switches are in a closed rack, you can also simply
disconnect whatever cable you want and lock the rach.

If price is an issue, you can look into what some smaller vendors (such as
linksys (now of cisco too, but cheaper), Netgear and others) call 'smart
switches'. I have a 24 port GigE 'smart/ web manageable' switch that allows me
to disable ports as needed. It's like a low cost managed switch.

You're looking for "managed" switches; the HP Procurve lineup, and  
the 3com SuperStack III models are also pretty decent.


Cisco is litl bit expensive specially im talking about 24 switch  
each, 20 ports!!


$20 per port is about the lowest price-point for decent managed  
switches out there, and that goes up towards $40 or $50 per port if  
you want to have GBIC fibre or GB-over-copper switch uplinking or  
stacking capabilities; you start losing vital capabilities like  
individual port control & VLAN/trunking capabilities if you go  
cheaper

Gurus

Thank you all for your advices, I would go ahead and look for "managed" 
switches :)

Belkin was a mistake,

Thank you again
