RE: howto bind Mac to ip address

Hi!

Just a general hint. If I understand u correcty, you'll bind MAC- to
IP-Adresses to apply different filters/restritions to each clients. But
you have to keep in mind, if the users of the client systems have root
privileges they are able to alter their MAC-Address with most modern
Ethernet-Adapters. Also many Windows-Drivers have these capabilities,
too. This could easily be used to bypass your resriction.

Subject: howto bind Mac to ip address


Hi!

I'm a new to Linux, I want to setup Linux NAT box for a small LAN with
selective services to allow like only browsing for staff and other
services for management like ftp msn chatting etc.
 
1.>  I want to bind each MAC address to his or her assigned IP address
so nobody should mess around to change his or her IP's.
 
2.> I want to allow selective MAC addresses each time, so they are not
allowed to use it all the time or I can block them whenever I want to.
 
I will highly appreciate if anybody could help me or direct me to any
web site or article to build this Box successfully.
 
Best regards,
