I think I'm confused. I thought your problem was you had lots of chromebooks you wanted to register without having to go through the captive portal on each one.
There are two ways you can do this: 1) setup a registration switch / AP and connect the units to it or 2) get a list of the MAC addresses and import them via the Admin GUI > Does MAC filtering really not do anything? PF doesn't do MAC filtering by default. Unless you specifically tell PF to deny a connection it will be accepted, but the endpoint will be placed into a vlan or network segment which corresponds to the role you have specified for that endpoint. So it is less MAC filtering and more MAC sorting. The idea being that you setup your roles to restrict the access of the nodes on the segment to only what you want them to have. I think I am missing some info that will help me help you. Can you give me a quick rundown of your situation and the issue you are having?

The problem is, it's not doing any MAC filtering at all. It will let anyone at all in. Does MAC filtering really not do anything?
