I need help in setting up my network, currently I have the following setup.
All the computers can browse the internet but when I tried to create a two groups (a group that can access the internet and a group that can't access the internet) using Device MAC Access Control but to no avail still all the computers can access the internet. I follow the instructions in the Fortigate Cookbook (FORTI OS 5.4), Fortigate seems cannot recognize/identify MAC Addreses of the computers int the network.
Since your switch is doing the routing, source mac address will always be your switch (192.168.1.2).
Some options you have:
- Move the routing to the fortigate. Keep the switch just as a layer 2 device. Then you can use MAC addresses in your policy.
- Assign static ip, or dhcp reservations and use IP addresses in your policy.
- Use FSSO
