I am not so sure about this because AFAIK cyberoam client only uses your
MAC to authenticate. The server checks the MAC / IP combo with its
records and enables routing for _only_ your IP and not MAC / IP pair.
Since if it were enabling routing on the basis of MAC / IP pair then I
wouldn't be able to use my connection as my MAC is totally different
from what my ISP has bound my connection with. And I don't spoof my
MAC. linc-daemon sends the expected mac while cyberoam client actually
finds out the MAC through API calls.
My customer uses cyberoam 24x7 client for login and when I replaced his
nic, I had to call them up to reset my mac address. Login not only
checks the physical paramaters like ip and mac but also the username and
password. Once password is authenticated, your user id is checked for
account status and after all clear, your gateway route is active.
