The IP/MAC must be fixed . Another way that i apply is simply to set a liust of user with password on the router/gateway to assign a SNATTED address to each user. Unauthenticated user would just stay inside, as soon you are authenticaded you get a real address and so you can go äway"of course you can select if you eant a plan or a firewalled connection. This way one user that got a new computer or just change his NIC has no to reregister, but just log via software. > Maybe radius or you could setup 2 networks on your switch one none > routable [firewalled net] one [routable net].
