Dear Group, A large organization wants to begin a "user pay" cost recovery accounting method in an attempt to get proper funding for services the central IT service support provider has delivered "free" for a long time.
They would like to charge a "per port" fee which includes everything they provide rolled up. One of the interesting questions is how to identify that a host belongs to a certain level 1 organization. With proper naming standards something like: Collect a list of host names/MACs. Such info can be easily collected with various tools. Port security would be turned on with a address list of 1 configured. Then permanent MAC addresses could be collected from the access switches. Then a correlation made....................... A bit labour intensive - at least at first. Is there a product that can relate host name to Catalyst port that would make this idea easier? Or other ideas??
