Map users to ports

[fenstrat]

I would like to find a way to map a user to which switch he is attached to by his ip address or his mac address. Anyone know how.
Thanks

You can assign a mac address to a switch interface....this is for security reasons...

Is this what you are trying to do? It is called Port Security.

You need ciscoworks User tracker -
creates a ip-mac-switch port database.

This even has a unix and NT loginscript to pass userid info to ciscoworks which can then reconfigure the port to the users individual requirements.

Or you do it the hardway -
Ping sweep the network
sh mac-address table on switch
dump the default gateway arp cache, and search for the mac address.

CiscoWorks 2000 tracker provides a table including the following:
UserName,MACAddress,HostName,IPAddress,Subnet,DeviceName,Device,Port,PortName,PortState,VTPDomain,VLAN,VLANType,LastSeen

I had overlooked this feature, very impressive. Now looking to autoexport it with a script for further processing.
