Do you know of a good document that I could review on MAC IP binding?

Or, what do you guys recommend to identify PCs in WFilter. Currently all of our addresses are dynamic. I could easily revert bach to static, but I'm not sure that would be my preference if there's a better way. Actually I'll wait for your recomendation and any resources you can provide.

For MAC ip binding, the best solution is to implement certain binding rules in switches or routers. But I doubt your switches support it. And it is complicated to setup. WFilter also has an ip-mac binding feature, but it only works for single-segment networks. Please check: How to setup ip-mac binding in WFilter?



I think "monitoring/blocking by AD accounts" is the best solution if you have an available microsoft active directory.



If you don't have an AD, "monitoring by MAC address" will also be a good choice if the monitored computers are in a same subnet.



Otherwise, I am afraid you need to make your ip addresses static.
