Is there is an option in Miktotik to deal IP addresses only for known clients by MAC addresses?
I mean - if there is action when unknown person tries to connect to my network - router doesn’t know it’s MAC address and doesn’t give him IP address and rejects connection to network.
so this will meet my needs for only known clients on my network? In this case - what is going to be shown for person who tries to connect? Is it going to be “Limited or no connectivity” or connection will be established, but there is not access to network services and internet?
pl see my question in my most :
Hello all
I am getting IP from DHCP server on a fiber link . I dont have static IP , I want to give IP to my clients from the same DHCP server but after mac filtering.It mean if users mac is in the router then user get IP if not then user dont get IP .
Thank in advance
Yes it is, I’ve tested it and it works like a charm
1. DHCP Security: Add ARP for Leases
So that each device can only be connected by allocating the IP Address from the DHCP Server, we need to activate the ‘Add ARP for Leases’ option. The trick is to double click on the DHCP Server and check the option which is located at the bottom.
In addition, on the router interface where the DHCP Server is located, we change the ‘ARP’ parameter with the ‘reply-only’ option. This is intended so that the router will not automatically update the ARP List table when a client is connected using a Static IP Address.
The above settings will make the router only allow interconnection of clients who get the IP address from the DHCP process. Users who set the IP address manually are not able to interconnect to the router.
2. DHCP Security: Adress Pool Static Only
Furthermore, by using the ‘Add ARP for Leases’ parameter like the configuration above, we can also limit the devices connected via the DHCP Server to only the devices that we have specified. For this need, you can set the parameters on the DHCP Server, namely the Address Pool, by setting it to the ‘Static-Only’ option.
However, first we have to register the devices that are allowed to connect to the Static Leases list. For the addition itself, you can select the IP menu → DHCP Server → Leases tab → Click Add [+].
Once added, we can see a list of these devices in the Leases Tab.
Next, we will set the Address Pool parameter to ‘Static-Only’. For the settings, you can click twice on the existing DHCP Server and select the Address Pool parameter.
