Are there any features in Orion to track MAC addresses for when a device has been lost or stolen and then attempts access back into a private network?

lchance

I'm tasked to find a solution/product which tracks any MAC address of a laptop, wireless/wired devices, etc - if/when - it is lost or stolen and shows back up on the private network.

Anyone know of anything?

Have you looked at our User Device Tracker (UDT)?

www.solarwinds.com/.../switch-port-management.aspx

Exactly what it is designed to do, among other things.

Jeff,

How can I expect this product to work with Wireless controllers and iPads too?

Thanks.

lchance,

Check out the demo

http://tracking.demo.solarwinds.com/Orion/SummaryView.aspx

On the first page there is a device watch list...they have an iphone as a watched device should give you a good idea of it.

lchance

Yes I had seen that entry for 'IPHONE' and checked that MAC vendor and no record found. That might be a made-up MAC I guess...

But I'm very curious about how it picks up MACs especially from wireless controllers.

What I have in Orion today seems completely independent of each other, that is, MACs for physical switches & MACs for wireless controllers.

I haven't used the product yet (at a new company and awaiting hardware to install Solarwinds on) so I don't know yet.

Since you already have Orion I'd just install the trial and give it a spin. If you do please report your findings as I'm eager to know more about this product as well since its still relatively new. We didn't have this module at my old employer.

lchance

I may have to give it a trial spin.

I don't want to recommend this solution and spend tens of thousands of dollars on it if the wireless part doesn't fit well with what we need done.

Thanks for the feedback.

Hey SOLARWINDS!

I installed the 30day eval on Orion and ...WOW! I am impressed!!

Thanks...

Jeff,

When in Node Details View and seeing the info presented by UDT, do you know why a Cisco 3560 stackable doesn't show anything in the IP column, however a Cisco 2960 stackable does?

jeff.stewart

This is likely due to a failure in determining a switch to router correlation. If you edit the node properties you should see a resouce at the bottom that shows routers where the stack is trying to get its layer 3 information from.

lchance

Yes that works now...Thanks.

Can you tell me how I would use this product to locate a 'rogue' device on the network?
