How do I assign users/groups based on MAC addresses?

Pickle Rick

Basically in my Sophos XG17 firewall rules I have the option to MATCH IDENTITY per firewall rule and I would like to group specific devices via MAC addresses and then assign them to those specific firewall rules.  How do I go about doing that?

    Hi,

     Your requested feature for user and mac binding is not supported as of now,

    But it's coming as part of synchronized security with Sophos central Endpoint, with lateral movement control as well.

    Wait for coming SFOS builds.

    Regards,

    I assume that home users are unable to get on Sophos Central Endpoint or at least be able to purchase a lite version of more advanced security like the Untangle $50 model?

     

    I fully understand that XG firewall is meant for enterprise but honestly the days of enterprise only requirement are numbered, users are no longer safe just behind their NAT, not with IoT taking over the home infrastructure.  Thus, a company like this should divert and honestly look into supporting the home market some more...follow the Untangle Example or the Norton NextGen home firewall example.   The only reason I am not running Untangle right now is because I am too lazy to change everything....I have just recently changed from UTM 9.5, but honestly as things stand right now, a one lazy weekend it's all it will take.
