Is it possible to assign MAC addresses to aliases?

I would love it if I could add “Nathan’s computer” to a block list than the MAC address.

Similarly it would be awesome if we could have groups? Like “Kids’ devices” and add that group to a block list?

Thanks

By name? No. You can add it to a reserve ip list and block that IP. however with windows ability to lie and present a different MAC address they can get a unblocked IP and also get around an address block. However if you go and create a fully controlled network so that all devices on your network are listed in the reserved ip page. You can then set the DHCP server to zero clients, no client that isn't on the reserve list is supposed to get an IP. And would prevent such trickery as faking a new MAC addy.
