Hi folks, after his presentation learned from Niall that he didn't actually know about the ramond, so here's some quick info for all who have a similar situation like him: Ramond is a little tool that listens for RAs and then matches the source MAC address or whatever with a list of authorized routers. It can clean up after rogue router RAs by sending a follow-up RA with router lifetime of 0 and deprecating all the advertised prefixes, and it can also run some external programs/scripts to do additional clean up (like an automated retaliation strike). It's open source and should run on all standard Unixes (so far I've only tested it on Linux myself), and of course it can be combined with 802.1Q. I've also covered it in the second half of my video blog episode at http://www.stepladder-it.com/bivblog/23 with the most relevant parts starting at about 15:00 into the video. If you handle networks with a potential for rogue advertising routers and don't know about the tool, I recommend you take a look at it.
