We use a perl script to save lease info from our ISC DHCP server. We also have a script that will search the lease info and alert admins when a specific MAC address shows up in the database.

Unfortunately, we experience the occasional theft of University-owned or personal laptops. Using Cisco WCS, we can certainly find the last place a device was, if the wireless adapter was on, before it egressed campus. What is missing is a mechanism to "flag" a MAC address to alert on a client device if it pops back up on the network so there may be an opportunity to react. Has anyone else faced and conquered alerting on specific clients (for whatever reason)? Thanks- Lee Lee H.
