That darned iPhone

The DHCP scope that is associated with our Wireless network filled this morning. We knew we were getting tight, and were in the process of getting a new system in place that could handle non-contiguous network segments as address pools. But that's not in yet.

The reason we ran out? Apple iPhones. When they come into contact with a Wifi network, they grab an IP address even if they're not actively using it. So. Full scope.

That isn't my department, so I'm not sure what exactly we're doing about it. But, it came up this morning,.

"if mac address matches known iphone pattern, send to iphone IP address range."- or - access-list 700 deny Iphone-macs 0000.0000.0000;)
