I do not want any mac address cloning going on.

Who is going to clone your macs?

Hackers. Black hackers.
Or cyber warriors from China, Iran, russia. (They are in 120-180ms distance from Your data ;)

And for what purpose?

Steal money. Or steal some info about Your clients to steal MUCH MORE money from them.
2.
Make damage for Your country.

Mac cloning is only a thing if they are already on your network..

Because around 80% of devices at home, work and office are connected by WiFi, airsnort, fake DHCP server for MITM doing work well.

I would love to hear your theory how anyone could use that to do anything? That doesn't already have full access to my network anyway..

Hm. Are You serious? I do not believe that You say that…

BTW, I prefer to using “IP reservation “ feature ONLY as some sort of helpful feature in administration and of pf rules work.
And THIS IS NOT AS A SECURITY BARRIER any way!

When planning infrastructure each one need to keep in mind that MAC/IP - NOT MAKE DEVICE TRUSTED, this is just ID.
And like Your passport w/o photo or biometric chip,- may be stealing by someone.

One of the basic rules nowadays must be: EACH DEVICE MUST HAVE OWN SERTS. NO SERTS,- NO ANY RIGHTS, NO ACCESS ANYWHERE !

Am I wrong?
