You can either make rule for a specific mac address or can make rules for specific IP.

But you can't force that particular MAC should be used only with a specific IP.
Ya you can do that with DHCP ie. assigning desired IP to a particular MAC.

eg.
If you want to drop all request from a MAC address then you do following

Code: [Select]

iptables -A INPUT --mac-source 00:0B:DB:45:56:42 -j DROP
