DHCP Authentication howto ?

[Frank Bulk]

I would have to posit that since Layer 1 is physical, 802.1X would be at
Layer 2 in the OSI model.

802.1x would be a layer 1 issue, managing a school on a University campus,
that simply isn't an option at this point.

Just say no.  Neither an IP address nor a MAC address are a credential,
so no there isn't a way to authenticate with DHCP.

Leave the job of providing IP addresses to DHCP, leave authentication to 
things like radius.  Leave network admission control to 802.1x.
