LAN Access Policy - issue with linux

Hello everyone, 

A new challenge appears, not sure if it's been asked already.

 

We're trying to limit accesses to wired LAN using Linux sstems.

As Linux cannot use Tags, is there a way to use computer names?

 

I see that the switches get the computer name when the computer is connected to the LAN port.

I could use MAC Address, but the problem is that we are using USB Dongles for LAN, since our computers don't have LAN ports. And if I put the USB dongle in another computer, said computer has access, so the security in this case is not working.

I would use MAC address lists for WLAN since the computers have a WiFi antenna.

 

Would it be possible to lock a LAN port to a specific computer name? or, any other good tip to solve this issue?

Thank you!
