Why would you be assigning random IPs to MACs that just happen to appear on your network? Security FAIL right there.

If you have IPs assigned in dhcpcd.conf then everything works - and rogue boxes don't get an IP address.

Of course if you have 802.1x, they don't even get onto the vlan in the first place
