Restrict by source MAC address?
Is it possible to restrict by source MAC address? I have some iRules now that restrict by source IP, which are fine for our internal apps. We're discussing locking down an external site to certain people, but DHCP may be a problem if we restrict by IP.
The only thing close I've found thus far is [LINK::lasthop], but that appears to be the MAC of the last hop.
- The_BhattmanNimbostratusHi Ned,
- Ned_66277NimbostratusThat confirms what I suspected. I was wondering about putting that into the header much in the same way X-Forwarded-For does it, sounds like a possibility. Authentication is what we're doing now, and for this particular app it takes three separate nearly-consecutive logins to get in (involving hand-offs between departments when troubleshooting). It's ugly, and I would ultimately like a simpler experience for the user (which would also simplify support). I was brainstorming about IP/MAC restrictions, but that may not be the right way to go. Thanks for your help.
