[Netpass-users] Quarantine Issue?

[Don R. <don...@em...>]

Consider the following scenario:

- User transgresses policy and needs to be quarantined
- Admin q's user
- DB is updated, but port reset fails b/c user's MAC is not found on  
the switch. We also believe that computer is plugged into a switch/ 
router, such that computer wake/sleep does not generate linkup/down  
events to the switch -- link always up, MAC may or may not be present
- QUESTION: when user's computer wakes up, no event generated, they  
are on the network since there appears to be no mechanism to verify  
that all ports are in their correct states

This could also occur if the SNMP UDP packet doesn't make it to the  
switch....are we missing something here?? or have you extended the  
MAC aging time on your switches??

Thanks,
Don
