I just applied the MAC verification to my wireless LAN. I connect a NIC on my router to Dlink WAP. This device is actually router and AP with 3 LAN ports and one WAN port. I do not use WAN port and connect only one LAN port. Now I see the following in the log. Jun 28 21:19:55 firewall Shorewall:eth3_mac:REJECT: IN=eth3 OUT= MAC=00:50:ba:d1:e7:a8:00:05:5d:eb:06:f6:08:00 SRC=192.168.27.126 DST=192.168.27.254 LEN=32 TOS=00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=5328 PROTO=ICMP TYPE=8 CODE=0 ID=0 SEQ=17408 Jun 28 21:20:11 firewall Shorewall:eth3_mac:REJECT: IN=eth3 OUT= MAC Could somebody explain me why the MAC is very long but not 2 or 3 MAC addresses (14 pairs instead of either 12 or 18)? Thank you. _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
