MAC HOST Limit - XG330

Hi Raiden86,

Thank you for reaching out to Sophos Community.

Sophos firewall allows adding a maximum of 1000 MAC addresses in MAC host configured with 'MAC list'.

You can create one MAC host with 1000 MAC addresses and create another MAC host with the rest of 783 addresses.

There is no current solution to increase this, but you can simply expand it into two objects. MAC List 1 and MAC List 2. 

Simply do this by using the XML Import/Export feature. See: community.sophos.com/.../creating-xml-objects-with-notepad-for-mass-import

Hi! Thanks for the quick reply. I did that. But, it´s a pity that an actualized version of Sophos has "less features". And, it´s a little dificult to split into two Lists, because I have ONE wireless SSID for the entire students across the campus. 
Thanks anyway.

Hi! Thanks for the quick reply. Yeah, As I said in my previous reply, its a pity I cannot add them in one list just like SG UTM9. I have to think another solution.

Thanks again!

You actually maintain a MAC List of students? That sounds really stressful? And this list is the basic "NAC" for Wireless? 

Yes.. I have more than 2000 netbooks in my infraestructure. My students are very smart to bypass my security. Also, The teachers does not collaborate keeping in secret the Wifi password for their notebooks. So, I had to have a Mac list for all my Wireless setup. I have 67 AP´s across the campus. And, we have at least, 50 digital rooms, each one with 1 AP and 30 netbooks connected. 
You can Imagine that splitting into two SSID is tedious.. 

Of course. What about WPA2 Enterprise? Wouldnt this be a smarter solution in the long run?
