Re: Vlan Assignment - Static

Nauman,

If this helps simplify what you are trying to do, you can deploy MAB - MAC
Authentication Bypass. Although its still part of 802.1X, this is only a
Cisco proprietary extension of the protocol that would not require any
client configuration, certificates and AD configuration with ACS. All that
is required is a list of MAC address of the clients in question, although a
RADIUS server is still required.

FreeRADIUS would do the job for you ;-)

HTH,
Sadiq
