using MAC-IDS for rules

Hallo,

is there a way to use MAC-IDs for defining rules etc..
My problem:
I m managing private network where some users are "clever" enough to configure themselves fixed-ips that are known to have access to the internet.
But they are not clever enough to fake MAC-Ids.

Is there a way to solve my problem?

Thanks

Do you have a VLAN-cabable switch? If so, you could lock their MACs to a certain VLAN, and only give the firewall permissions you want to that VLAN.
