Thanks

What are the advantages and disadvantages of 802.1x?

What are some other options; and can you compare and contrast the advantages of those against 802.1x?

Setting QoS on switch ports for Polycom appliances is not much of a problem, but we are about to roll out video conferencing software for use on staff PCs and laptops. How can I set QoS for these users when the switch ports they will be connected to will be ever-changing? The Polycom software can set DiffServ and P bits, etc. but this means all ports will need to be set as “trusted,” i.e., set to “honor” user QoS settings. I’m not keen on this as it opens the network to abuse and misconduct, etc. I’ve considered 802.1x but this is a major undertaking. I’ve asked many people about this but have never got any definitive answers.

I need to identify which workstations have the client and which do not. I also need to configure the 802.1x client on the workstations that do have it.

The 802.1x client is part of the workstation’s NIC driver. It is configured via the authentication tab in the Local Area Network properties.

I can obviously go from workstation to workstation identifying the workstations with the client and configuring them but it is labor intensive project.

These workstations are all part of a windows server 2k3 active directory domain. Is there a way to identify the workstations with the client remotely?
