Re: Closed Network Implementation?

[Willis Marti <wmarti () TAMU EDU>]

Glenn,
 The key lesson is that with a research university, possibly all higher ed, there is no way to know everything our 
faculty and staff have cooked up when the rules were less strict. I strongly feel you have to put a device in place 
without rules to determine what "default deny" would reject, before turning it on.
