How to manually delete all pass-through MAC entries on PFsense version 2.1.5

usaiat

Hi,

I got a lot of pass-through MAC entries and I want to delete all of them at once. Its really a pain doing it one by one. Is there a way I can do that ? Our captive portal services went off recently and we have to manually restart the services. We also change the Pass-through MAC Auto Entry and unchecked the "Enable Pass-through MAC automatic additions" so we can start afresh with our guest users

Any help will be really appreciated

Regards

Hi,

pfSense has the possibility to "export" his configuration. Export only the "Captive Portal" part.
All you need is a decent XML editor, a couple seconds ….. and done.
Import the modified XML file and your good.

A couple of things you should know:
No, MS Word isn't a good editor for this. Better is Notepad++ (a source code editor).
RESPECT the XML format - you see its easy to understand.
Look for these sequences:

 <passthrumac><action>pass</action>
<mac>00:14:bf:xx:ab:33</mac>
-</passthrumac>

Thanks Gertjan. Can you guide me through on how to export the captive portal configuration on the web GUI ?
