Restrict by source MAC address?

Hi Ned,

 

Unfortunately, the ADC can't natively look at the mac address if the client is not on the same segment as the ADC. Ultimately we decided to go with an authentication scheme.

 

 

Another method might be to write up javascript that would solicite the mac-address and send it via HTTP header. The irule can then pick it up and compare it a whitelist. I think I have seen some examples on the web - mostly from Windows based browsers.

 

 

I hope this helps
