Seperating Mobile Devices for pattern update

Hi there everybody! After reading on for quite some time I now have a question, too. I am thinking about a (secure) way to seperate mobile devices before letting them into the LAN for virus pattern update. What I am looking for is any information or best practice to do so. Example: If an employee comes back to office after e.g. a 21 day trip, his virus patterns (and maybe other information) might be outdated. So you don't want him in your office LAN until his laptop updated the pattern information and scanned the system. I was thinking towards giving him an IP from a different range until scanning is complete (eg. 1st 10.0.0.30, after scanning 192.168.0.30). That way any malware can't infiltrate the LAN from the mobile device. Any hints to reading, books, info etc are greatly welcome. Coz ... a proven way to do so also ... ;-) Thanx in advance! Viele Grüße / Best regards, Henrik Becker
