Hi.

DHCP is required to give out an IP before authentication can start. So you cant stop DHCP to non Domain Users.

I would suggest that you look at 802.1x, This will allow you to control who can connect to your switch, this does require that the switch supports it.

Hello,

first, DHCP provides DHCP addresses for computers and NOT users.

second, ip address MUST be applied to a machine BEFORE authentication process starts, so it is not possible what you like to have.

third, you can use MAC address based filtering to allow only machines that are specified from you. More details about in:
