SIUDERLAN: Computer System for Location of Network Stations in a Wired LAN

Abstract

Physical Computer Location in a wired mid- or high dimension computer network is an important task for the security of any organization. Generally, workstation names, IP addresses or network card ID are somehow controlled, but this information sometimes is not obtained automatically, therefore is difficult to keep accurate record about it. This work proposes a computer system able to interact with switches and routers from diverse technologies for locating in a precisely time and manner the working positions and facilities from where LAN networking computers are connected in order to control access to new stations within the network.
