any example for disable forwarding between users ??? I ask for that in another topic before 6 month but no one give me any solution for disabling forwarding between user
when i realised someone is using my ip:XXXXXXX . then i static the ip from ARP list & made the lan to reply only. But i really shocked he is still using this ip. he has changed his mac address to same as mine. maybe by using MAC scanner & changer software. Any one have any idea to save from this Culprit???
In Ethernet network (wired network using switches) all users are in the same physical layer and using Media Access Control is is hard (almost impossible) to make hierarchy - who is main router and who client. There is no security.
As normis mentioned before way to disable forwarding between Ethernet users is manageable switch.
There is many articles about arp spoofing how to detect and prevent it, like http://www.watchguard.com/infocenter/editorial/135324.asp
i am using bridge1 to connect the users to the internet and i define the local-addr for my lan network ip .
so in this rule i am dropping any thing is initiated from local-addr and coming from bridge1 and going to local-addr through bridge1 .
comments on this rule will be welcomed .
also pppoe solve the case of netcut but i faced problems with the pppoe , where the clients face stop in the service from time to time and they have to disconnect the connection and reconnect again .
with best regards .
Hi again ;
i am currently using the following firewall rules but the counters still zero , i don’t know if they are wrong or no one trying to do bad things to the network .
Normis , please explain how the VLAN solve this case ? .
