Automate static arp
-
I'd like to schedule a task at a given time which would enable mac address filtering for a given set of mac addresses, to be determined ahead of time. I have been trying to do this via ssh terminal and I can use the arp command to remove an entry which I included in the static arp list I set up via the console, but the associated device is still able to connect.

What exactly is your goal your wanting to achieve? Why do you want to block mac - why would you not just use schedules and block the IP of said device?
-
My goal is to not allow a subset of devices to connect during a specific time frame and to automate that so that I can schedule it so I don't have to be present to do it manually. If I can accomplish that with ip addresses, that's fine. I am using dhcp and I'm not sure if a given device will always receive the same ip address. If this is the case, can you recommend how to schedule access availability per device by ip address?

so first thing would be to setup a dhcp reservation, ie static dhcp so that client always gets the same IP. Then create a schedule for your rules so those IPs don't have access when you don't want them to have access.
