Abstract
A system includes one or more network devices. The network devices are configured to: poll one or more devices to obtain a list of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses of User Equipment devices (UEs) that are authorized to access a network; obtain identifier-IP address pairs based on the IP addresses and identifiers (IDs) of the UEs; receive a request from a UE to connect to the network; and use an IP address of the UE to look up a device ID of the UE in the ID-IP address pairs. If the device ID of the UE is in a list of IDs of the UEs, the network devices are configured to permit the UE to establish a connection to the network. Otherwise, the network devices are configured to prevent the UE from establishing a connection to the network.
