WhitePaper_MACAddress
Abstract
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a widely used IP address allocation scheme used worldwide. DHCP can use the computer’s Media Access Control (MAC) address to determine what IP address to issue that computer. Thus it is very important for the Network Administrators to know what MAC addresses exist and need to be alerted if any foreign MAC address intrudes their environment. In this whitepaper an approach to solving this problem using Splunk will be demonstrated to achieve this objective.
