Here at Wright State we have about 1500 active Residence Hall connections.
We don't require our students to register their MAC addresses for access to
the network. We're primarily a Cisco shop with a Check Point firewall for
our ResNet. We just run an open DHCP pool for each ResNet subnet and
policy route all ResNet traffic to the firewall. It seems to work well for
us. We get logging from the firewall, and the students can't get off their
subnet without authenticating, plus we don't have to track each MAC
address. We've only had one instance so far of someone running their own
DHCP server, but I found that person fairly quickly. Granted it leaves
each individual subnet open but that hasn't been much of a problem for us.
We've been running this way since 1997.
