Re: [FW1] MAC address filtering ?



Title: MAC address filtering ?
Firewall-1 will not filter based on Mac address. It resides between the digital link(mac layer) and the Network layer.

Subject: [FW1] MAC address filtering ?

Does anyone know if it is possible to filter incoming packets on the mac
address instead of IP address ?

I'd like to allow access only to some workstations and not to others.
My FW is a linux box with FW-1 v4.1, can I use the /etc/ethers file or
something else to do this ?

Is it better to do this with linux directly or should I use FW-1 ?

Thanks in advance.
