Is it easy to block a mac address on airport extreme?

I have plans of changing my router to an apple airport extreme. Is it easy to block a mac address on apple's airport extreme?

So you can just control the time that they're connected.
You can set up daily time limits to allow a specific device to connect at the times that you specify. It is possible to set up different "rules" for each individual device......so your Mac could connect anytime, but other devices connect only at the times that you specify.
It is also possible to set up a rule to not allow a device to connect at all at any time. That would be called the "No Access" rule.
In order for the PS4 to connect automatically, a router needs to have UPnP service. The AirPorts do not have this. If you want to connect the PS4 to the AirPort, you will need to plan to set up the port mapping manually.

  • Change MAC Address On AirPort Extreme

    I'm using the latest Apple AirPort Extreme 802.11n (Apple Part Number MB763AM/A and Model A1301 as noted on the box). I am currently using Firmware 7.5.1. I haven't yet updated to the latest AirPort Base Station Firmware 7.5.2.
    Is there a way to change the MAC Address on this device? The reason I ask is because I use cable Internet and releasing and renewing the IP Address on cable never works. You're basically stuck with the same IP address for months on end unless you leave your connection off for at least 72 hours or more (DSL out here works differently - you get a new IP Address immediately after releasing and renewing).
    I don't like using the term "spoofing" as it sounds as if you're trying to do something devious (which I'm not) but I just don't like having the same IP Address for months on end since I don't think it's wise for security reasons.
    I'd be interested in knowing if there is a way to change the MAC Address of my AirPort Extreme, perhaps using a third-party utility of some sort, perhaps through the Terminal or maybe the new firmware update allows you to finally do this?

    If you are referring to the MAC address of the AirtPort Extreme, it is not possible to change this.
    You're basically stuck with the same IP address for months on end unless you leave your connection off for at least 72 hours or more (DSL out here works differently - you get a new IP Address immediately after releasing and renewing).
    The IP address you are referring to here is assigned by your service provider. The AirPort Extreme has no control over this.

    Sorry, not possible.

  • Blocking all MAC addresses except for the ones you allow

    I have a Cisco Aironet 1200 Access Point. I want to block all MAC addresses from accessing the access point, except for the ones I've allowed. First I went to the Address Filters page and clicked on Allowed, then listed all the MAC address I want to be able to access the access point. Then I went to the Ethernet Advanced page, and set the Default Multicast Address Filter to Disallowed, and the Default Unicast Address Filter to Disallowed. Then I went to the AP Radio: Internal Advanced page, clicked on the Advanced Primary SSID Setup link, and set the Default Unicast Address Filter to Disallowed. Accept Authentication Type is set to Open with Shared and Network-EAP cleared, and the Require EAP check boxes are all cleared.
    When using a computer whose MAC address is not listed on the Address Filters page, I am still able to connect to the network through the access point. I am also able to connect to the access point from any pc on my network by entering its IP address in Internet Explorer.
    What do I need to do to block any pc without a listed MAC address from connecting to the access point?
    Thanks, Jeff

    Here's the instructions and URL on how to create an MAC based filter:
    Follow these steps to create a MAC address filter:
    Step 1 Follow the link path to the Address Filters page.
    Step 2 Type a destination MAC address in the New MAC Address Filter: Dest
    MAC Address field. You can type the address with colons separating the character pairs
    (00:40:96:12:34:56, for example) or without any intervening characters (004096123456, for example).
    Note If you plan to disallow traffic to all MAC addresses except
    those you specify as allowed, put your own MAC address in the list of allowed MAC
    addresses. If you plan to disallow multicast traffic, add the broadcast MAC address
    (ffffffffffff) to the list of allowed addresses.
    Step 3 Click Allowed to pass traffic to the MAC address or click Disallowed
    to discard traffic to the MAC address.
    Step 4 Click Add. The MAC address appears in the Existing MAC Address
    Filters list. To remove the MAC address from the list, select it and click Remove.
    Step 5 Click OK. You return automatically to the Setup page.
    Step 6 Click Advanced in the AP Radio row of the Network Ports section at
    the bottom of the Setup page for the radio you want to configure. The AP Radio Advanced page appears.

  • Block Wired MAC addresses?

    WRT54g Version 5.0
    Firmware 1.02.8
    I have been able to figure out how to block Wireless MAC addresses, and that has been VERY helpful.
    ( Wireless Tab -> Wireless MAC filter -> Permit Only -> and so on.... )
    But I am cannot find out how to block certain wired based MAC addresses.  Is this possible?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Yes. With access restrictions.
    Of course, as MAC addresses are easily changed, cloned and detected on wireless connections (as MAC addresses are always transferred unencrypted) the wireless mac filter is useless for wireless security. On the wireless, use WPA2 Personal with AES and a strong passphrase. The wireless MAC filter won't make a difference in regard to your WPA2 protected wireless network.
    Same applies to wired devices and access restrictions. Of course, the difference with wired connections is that you have better control over you can plug into your router and who not...

  • Blocking Client MAC Addresses at Sup720/WLSM?

    I want to block client MAC addresses at the central 6500, where the WLSM is located. Is there any solution like "dot11 association mac-list" at the accesspoints? I tried an "access-expression" on the tunnelinterface, but it did not work. Any suggestions?

    Here is an example of config
    switch(config)# mac access-list extended ARP_Packet
    Switch(config-ext-nacl)# permit host 0000.861f.3745 host 0006.5bd8.8c2f 0x806 0x0
    Switch(config-ext-nacl)# end
    Issue the vlan access-map map_ name command and the action drop command, which is the action to perform.
    The vlan access-map map_ name command uses the MAC access list that you created to block ARP traffic from the hosts.
    Switch(config)# vlan access-map block_arp 10
    Switch (config-access-map)# action drop
    Switch (config-access-map)# match mac address ARP-Packet
    Add an additional line to the same VLAN access map to forward the rest of the traffic.
    Switch(config)# vlan access-map block_arp 20
    Switch (config-access-map)# action forward
    Choose a VLAN access map and apply it to a VLAN interface.
    Issue the VLAN filter vlan_access_map_name vlan-list vlan_number command.
    Switch(config)# vlan filter block_arp vlan-list 2

  • Blocking a MAC address with WCS

    I recently deployed a 4404 with WCS and want to block a MAC address from connecting to our wireless because of Deauth floods. We have around 40 APs. I am thinking it should be done through a template, but not sure. Can anyone lead me to right document that explains the process of blocking specific MAC addresses?
    thanks,

  • I need to change the MAC Address for Airport on MacBook

    I have a specific need to change my son's Airport MAC address as his school requires the use of USB network cards that aren't compatible with MACs. These cards are needed because the school's router uses MAC address filtering.
    Before we upgraded his Mac to Snow Leopard, we were able to change the MAC address to the MAC address of the useless dongal the school supplied. We basically created an AppleScript program that ran the "sudo ifconfig en1 ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" and all was good.
    This command no longer works for changing the MAC address. We tried it as root user as well and by typing it into the terminal window as root. After running the command, we can run "ifconfig en1" and it does display the new mac address but when we turn the airport on and try to connect, it just hangs and won't connect.
    Our other non-Snow Leopard still works fine after running the commands so I'm guessing Apple disabled this functionality. It's hardly a security issue by being able to change your mac addres.
    Is there a new way to accomplish this? I've searched everywhere.
    Thanks!

    Would an easier solution be to provide the school's IT admin with your mac address and have it added? If they can add a block of mac addresses for the usb dongles, they can add more for machines that cannot use the dongle.
    Also: "It's hardly a security issue by being able to change your mac address."
    While it may not be a security issue for your machine, it is a security for the school network who is using mac address filtering as hopefully only one part of their wireless security.
    That being said, have you read this?

  • Trouble connecting 1 of 3 macs to my airport extreme thumb drive!

    I'm not good at using the terminal so I leave it alone. The other 2 macs in the house can hook up to my thumb drive hooked up to my airport extreme. This Imac won't and I get an error saying that" the text entered does not appear to be a recognized URL formant". I am using the correct address afp://10.0.1.1 . I get a message that my mac does not recognize the url and that they normally start with the prefex afp (which mine does). 2 other macs in the house pick it up perfectly.I ran repair permissions and it said that the following errors could not be fixed
    Warning: SUID file "System/Library/Filesystems/AppleShare/afpLoad" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    Warning: SUID file "System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DiskManagement.framework/Versions/A/Resources /DiskManagementTool" has been modified and will not be repaired.

    Warning: SUID file "usr/sbin/vpnd" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    I think I'm on to something but I don't know how to repair these files, especially the first one. Any Ideas?

    Hi Shadow99999
    Did you ever resolve your issues with disconnection between your Mac Pro and Airport Extreme? I am having a similar issue.
    I have had the extreme for about 4 months and I loose access to the internet about once a month. When I try to troubleshoot the Airport Extreme it is usually inaccessible from my Mac Pro which is my wired access point. The Airport Utility times out with a network error number that unfortunately I did not write down. The light is still green but nothing seems to be working. The first time I tried plugging and unplugging ethernet wires and accessing wirelessly through a Macbook but now I just unplug the Airport Extreme and replug (a Microsoft solution with no problem resolution.) Today I had some unusual internet traffic on my DSL modem and I wanted to look at the Airport Extreme but again I was unable to get to the Airport Extreme with the Airport Utility on my MacPro. (Everything up to the latest rev. per software update.)
    The lack of access between the Airport Extreme and a wired computer is really frustrating and may drive me back to my trusty five year old Buffalo Airstation. I could at least log in when I suspected there was a problem. Loss of internet access with the Buffalo was down to maybe once every 6 months to year and lock ups to wired access even rarer.
    Any other thread that you found to help you resolve your problem?

  • New help with my mac air and airport extreme time capsule dont know how to save to time capsule and use as a external hd

    new help with my mac air and airport extreme time capsule dont know how to save to time capsule and use as a external hd would like 2 store my home videos and pictures on the time machine (ONLY) as the MAC AIR has storage space limited space please help. THANK YOU.

    See the info here about sharing or using the TC for data.
    Q3 http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
    It is extremely important you realise.. the Time Capsule was never designed for this.
    It is a backup target for Time Machine.. that is the software on the computer that does backups.. it has no direct connection to the Time Capsule.
    It has no ability to back itself up.. unlike all other NAS in the market. It is therefore likely one day you will lose all your files unless you seriously work out how to backup.
    The TC is slow to spin up the hard disk and fast to spin down. iTunes and iPhoto will continually lose connection to their respective libraries.
    iPhoto in particular is easy to corrupt when you move photos over wireless into the library.. once corrupted all is corrupt. A single photo will ruin it all.. so backup is utterly essential.
    Time Machine cannot do backups of network drives. ie the TC. You will need a different backup software like CCC. You will then need another target to backup to..

  • What is Router Address in Airport Extreme

    I am trying to configure Airport Extreme for Cable modem(Comcast). Please help me on what i need to fill in Router address field for 'using DHCP' option.
    Can I see the address in Airport extreme itself or is it is referring to any IP or something.

    I was having problems connecting the Time Capsule to our Roadrunner modem. Time Capsule gets the IP address from the cable modem, but you have to convince the modem to accept that its router has changed and it needs to re-assign the IP address. One way is to turn the modem off, wait a bit, and turn it back on.
    For me, suggestions to power off the modem didn't work. But this was because the modem works for our phone service, too, and it has battery back-up. Unplugging the modem never forced it to reconnect.
    What worked was disconnecting the modem from the cable. I unscrewed the F-connector (antenna cable) from the back of the modem, waited a few minutes, then reconnected. I got a green light!

  • I'm trying to set up time machine to back up on an external HD connected t my airport extreme, but the disk doesn't show as an option in the time machine selecting a disk, any suggestion anyone? My mac "sees" the airport extreme   ??

    The first important thing to consider here is that Apple does not support Time Machine backups to a drive at the USB port on the AirPort Extreme, so that may likely have something to do with your difficulties.
    If you want to continue to try this, the drive must be formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and you almost always have to use a powered USB hub with a drive at the port of the Extreme...even if the hard drive has its own power supply....because the port on the Extreme is under powered.
    Most users who try this unsupported method have corruption difficulties sooner or later, but we do hear from some users who seem to be able to make it work.
    The bottom line is that there is no support from Apple on this if you have difficulties, so you may want to consider a secondary backup plan for your important data.

  • Blocking a MAC address from Authentication to AIR-AP1230 12.3(8) JA

    Anyone know the CLI commands for blocking a single MAC address from Associating to an AIR-AP1230 running 12.3(8)?

    Change the Action to Block, make the Default Action Forward All, and make the mask 0.0.0.0. Apply this to the dotllradio interface (or sub-interface), filtering inbound packets. This should block the specified MAC address only.

  • Block cloned MAC address in WCS

    Hi I would like to ask if I can block a user who connects to our network and generates high usage of internet.
    The problem is every time he clones his MAC address.

    Only way to prevent it is to do exactly what you mentioned you don't want to do and that's set a password or eap security. Layer 2 hacks have been around for ages. Very hard to defend unless you lift security requirements.

    Under the Wireless tab,click on the Wireless Mac Filter>>>>choose the option enable and click on the option "document.write("Prevent PCs listed below from accessing the wireless network.") Prevent PCs listed below from accessing the wireless network" and then,click on Edit Mac Filter List to enter the Mac Address which you want to prevent.
