Re: MAC Address Monitoring

While I can see the need for this capability, I would like to second the opinion put forth by stevech0 See Profile. i run a cisco wireless LAN controller and several cisco LWAPs on my network. additionally, i live in an apartment complex and am blasting out enough RF to cover quite a few units around me. i am using wpa/wpa2 with a shared key (i think this goes by tkip/aes in the consumer router market) and, while i see many clients trying to probe my network (which is something as simple as using windows WZC to view available wireless networks), no one ever associates to my network other than those which i have specifically granted access.

if you are really worried about security, i would set up wpa2/aes with a strong key and restricting physical access to LAN ports.

additionally, if you are looking at a corporate installation, i would suggest looking at the cisco wireless lan controller (WLC2106) and several cisco lightweight access points (LWAPs). this will provide a great amount of monitoring and flexibility when deploying access points.
