Technical Tip: Adding multiple MAC address under single MAC based address object

MAC address can be added below:

1. Adding a single MAC address.
2. Adding a range of MAC addresses.
3. Adding a wildcard MAC address.

To add MAC addresses from the GUI, select the plus sign under the MAC address.

To add MAC addresses from the CLI, separate the addresses with a quotation mark or use the append command to add another MAC address entry.

In cases where the network is managed based on the source MAC address, it can be a tedious process to add a MAC address-based object for each user and possibly call it under a group.

The above options can be helpful to manage the group under a single address object.

In the above example, 2 MAC-based address objects have been configured.

1. Office_PC: that includes one MAC address, a Range of MAC addresses, and a wildcard of the MAC address.
2. mac_block: a complete wildcard MAC address, so it can be used to block all MAC addresses in a deny policy.
