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.     =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Larry Pingree Sr. Security Consultant Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]   SiegeWorks WebSite: http://www.siegeworks.com/ Enterprise Support, Security Consulting and Training =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ----- Original Message ----- From: LEFEVRE David To: fw1 Sent: Monday, April 23, 2001 7:50 AM 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 ?
