Filtering and Monitoring via Mac-Address

[Kevin86]

Hi everyone.

Is it possible to filter and monitor a user's device via it's mac-add?

For example, I want to filter facebook and youtube in our company. I also want to have a status report regarding which mac-addresses are attempting to go into the sites that I have blocked.

Is this feasible?

Thanks in advance.

A lot depends on what systems you have and are using; but generally not directly (assuming basic systems and tools). You'd have to correlate logs and arp tables etc.

Advanced solutions such as ISE can do this but that's a much bigger discussion.
