HOW TO BLOCK THE USER USING MAC ADDRESS
-
Hi i am the new user for the pfsense please provide me how to block the user using mac address
-
you can't using firewall rules.
the only system that can handle mac is captive portal, but it isn't meant to be used for firewalling
-
If the user isn't very IP savvy you could do a DHCP reservation against his/her MAC address and use the IP in the firewall rules, however it wouldn't stop them changing their IP to another in the subnet range.
Users can also change their burnt in mac address to a self assigned one.
-
Get into your switch, find the port that MAC address is on, and disable it.

I was going to say this, but its not clear what the OP means by block it could be one of two things.
1. Block access out of the subnet or restrict access to some non local subnets, urls, etc …
2. not allow MAC xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx any LAN access at all.

Does he want to use static arp? I can not tell what the OP wants to be honest.. But I like the use your switch post from Derelict ;)
