DHCP Server & MAC address filtering
|
Posted Saturday, 27 October 2007 by Michael Khanin

The DHCP Server Callout DLL helps to filter out DHCP requests
based on MAC address. When a device or computer tries to connect to
network, it first tries to obtain an IP address from the DHCP Server.
The Callout DLL (read: hook-in DLL) also works and should continue to
work on Windows Server 2008.
The DHCP Server Callout DLL checks if this device MAC address is
present in known list (text file) of MAC addresses configured by
administrators. If it is present, the device will be allowed to obtain
an IP address or the device requests will be ignored based on the
action configured by administrator.
MAC address based filtering will allow network administrators to ensure
that only a know set of devices in the system are able get ip address
from DHCP Server. This DLL will help administrators to enforce
additional security into network. After installation, both the DLL
(MacFilterCallout.dll) and the installation/configuration instructions
(SetupDHCPMacFilter.rtf) are available under %windir%\system32.
