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

[Mohammed_Feroz]

Description	This article describes the various options for configuring the MAC address under a single MAC-based address object.
Scope	FortiGate.
Solution	MAC address can be added below: Adding a single MAC address. Adding a range of MAC addresses. 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. Office_PC: that includes one MAC address, a Range of MAC addresses, and a wildcard of the MAC address. mac_block: a complete wildcard MAC address, so it can be used to block all MAC addresses in a deny policy.
