Yeah, I was hoping to get around that, by simply adding the MAC address to a firewall rule, and pfSense would check the ARP table and use the appropriate IP address automatically.

So i guess it's not true layer 2 filtering, but its close enough.

MAC to IP address tracking is handled by the ARP package. :-)

All joking aside, maybe you want to look at static DHCP assignments denying 
unknown clients or the captive portal?

Are there any plans on adding this feature, or MAC to IP Address tracking. I would be willing to submit an bounty if it's technically possible.

This is very useful for hotels, airports, & wifi hot spots. Where you

want to block an PC that is using DHCP.

I've actually never seen this feature in a firewall,

Hello guys,

I need to build a bridging firewall with MAC address based rules.
Is
pfsense capable of doing the trick?

If not (as I guessed from the features) how can I achieve my goal?

Thank you for the help.
