Substitute Mac Address Filtering

hesisaboury · 08-07-2012, 02:36 AM

Hello,
the pre admin used mac address filtering for wireless connections but now i cant add more mac address (above 50) and as i search APs do not support more than 50 mac filter, i want to substitute mac address filter with other way, i dont know yet, but it must be secure as mac address filtering for wireless networks, for info i use static ip in dhcp. and up 100 user.

any suggestion.
thanks

Some options:

- You could use a corporate Cisco Access Point and filter as much as you want in the AP directly.
- You could replace the AP with a linux box and have iptables filter MAC for you.

iptables -A INPUT -m mac –mac-source C0:FF:EE:C0:FF:EE -j DROP
