IP adress mac lock

RouterOS General
1

Hello,

I provide virtual server rental and server hosting services, managing the network with RouterOS installed on a server with 88 cores of power.

In order to prevent IP spoofing, I want to lock the MAC addresses of the IP addresses of the customers I serve.

However, I couldn’t find a shortcut for this on RouterOS, and in my research I learned that I need to restrict the src-mac address as a firewall rule, which will work for me.

My question is about the approximately 1500 IP addresses that I have. Would adding this firewall rule to all of these IP addresses create a CPU and RAM load on the device?

Is there a simpler way to accomplish this task?

Is this similar to what you’re trying to do?

I am not using DHCP, I manually define all IP addresses.
