MAC Filtering -Sophos XGS

Manu Mathew1

Hello All,

We have a requirement to use MAC filtering for few clients which are connected to Sophos XGS via a core switch. The objective is if traffic comes from a specific MAC address needs filtering applied. Is that possible as i have seen below doc saying 

"MAC-based internet filtering only works when the network nodes are directly connected to the Sophos Firewall. Turn on User-MAC binding in network scenarios where the nodes are connected via a firewall, router, or a layer three (3) switch. For more information,"

thanks 

Mathew

    Hello Manu,

    Thank you for contacting the Sophos Community.

    If the Sophos Firewall can't see the original MAC address, which usually gets stripped by a layer 3 switch or router before the Sophos Firewall, then the MAC Filtering won't work, as the Firewall will always see the same MAC address.

    Regards,
