White-list Policies

  1. Only ACM members can be added to the white-list permanently
  2. Guest access can be given out temporarily for events
  3. Devices must be registered using the users account name
  4. Everyone must fill out the network registration form network-application-04-09-12.odt

Managing the white-list

Management of the LAN/WLAN white-list is done using a script called mac_filter

  1. SSH into dvorak.cs.uic.edu/dvorak.acm.cs
  2. Run the mac_filter command as root with sudo ie “sudo mac_filter -opts”
  3. Use the -h flag for instructions
  4. The command will automatically add that user to the white-list, regenerate the list for the DHCP server, and then restart it.

Giving a non Admin white-list permissions

  1. Log onto the ACM Windows Server
  2. Find that users account and move them into the Admins OU located inside the PAID OU
  3. Right click→add to group
  4. Add then to the group ACMDHCPAdmins
  5. They now have access to edit the white-list
