If you want to authenticate machines connecting to switch ports, install the FreeRADIUS package. I added some interface options to the package earlier this year that should allow you to use it for mac-based authentication and vlan assignment for switches that support it. I use it in a couple different places and it works quite well for us.

If you'd like to do per IP "authentication", pfSense will work nicely. Tim Nelson Systems/Network Engineer Rockbochs Inc.
