Patent abstract
A method of Internet Protocol (IP) address control includes receiving a request from a computing device for a new IP address, the request including a Media Access Control (MAC) address of the computing device. A query can be sent to a storage resource for a whitelist of MAC numbers associated with IP addresses and an IP address not present on the whitelist can be selected for use in assigning the new IP address. A new IP/MAC pairing of the selected IP address and the MAC address of the computing device is sent to the storage resource for adding to the whitelist and optionally to a firewall for adding to a firewall whitelist. A confirmation can be sent to the computing device, providing the new IP address.
