hi everyone
i want to restrict users from mac address.
how to do it.
please tell me step by step guide from GUI mode
Thankyou very much for helping noob like me
what kind of users? wireless or ethernet?
Thankyou normis for taking time to read and reply my post
both wireless as well as ether.

Hi,
I can only guide you on ethernet not on wireless…
while using ethernet what i am doing right now is giving static LEASE through DHCP to all users, and have statically entered their MAC Addresses in IP > ARP. And have set my ethernet card’s ARP property to reply-only. This way only those users whose request comes from the specified IP and MAC in ARP are allowed and al other are denied.
Regarding Wireless, i have not worked on wireless on mikrotik so i can not say any thing about it. I hope other people in this forum will help you out.
You can do that by setting the interfaces arp in reply-only mode, and add the mac addresses to the arp list manually. Maybe you’ll have to set the dhcp server, but i’m not sure about that…
Thanks mudasir and antefe.

please tell me step by step guide.
I hope i’m not annoying you people
please.. i’m a complete newbie
thankyou
Hi,
First Set Your Local Interface ARP Parameter to “reply-only”
/interface ethernet set ether1 arp=reply-only
Replace Ether1 with your interface connected to local network
Now create static ARP entries in IP > ARP
/ip arp add address=172.16.254.244 mac-address=00:01:02:03:04:05 comment="demo"
Replace IP and MAC by your clients IP's and MAC's
Now only those MAC’s will be allowed to communicate with your server which are present in IP > ARP Table.
Hope this will solve your problem.
Thanks mudasir
that really helped me
Thanks once again
