How can I filter Mac addresses ?

anyone know where I can get buy a cheap router or device to filter
[access] mac addresses.

I need to allow a pool of mac addresses [users] through to the gateway.
and block any other mac's.
Im using fixed ip and a DHCP pool on the network.

I know its possible with a Linux machine but I need something more admin
friendly such as a web interface on a router.

I havent found an easy way using a PC and windows, but windows is not
reliable.

We do have Cisco switches which I find too complicated to set up a mac
filter system. There also in the wrong path.


Thanks for any replies

My Dlink DI-614+ router does this, probably its successor too. But I'm not
sure if it's an appropriate device for an office setting, if I interpret
your requirements right.
