The MAC IP Anti-Spoof Module for SonicWALL is a great way to protect against the increasingly common spoofing attacks used by modern attackers. However, it may not be necessary to have it enabled for every device and it may actually interfere with some devices on the network, denying them access because it thinks their IP or MAC addresses are spoofed because the SonicWALL has detected them outside the network before, whether from a VPN or otherwise.
