Device blocking by MAC

[Dennis_S]

Has anyone found a way to block MAC addresses before the MAC is seen on the network? I have a request from layer 8 to block a group of new machines from being able to connect to the wire or wireless networks. Their only access will be via external wifi and VPN.      

I know how to block devices once they are seen by the network but not before..

Thanks for you input.

Hey @Dennis_S,

You can add clients before they are seen on the network, and apply a blocked policy at that time. Under Network wide > Clients just hit the "Add client" button:
