are you talking about wireless clients? if so, it is a good idea to implement WPA encryption on wireless

for wireless you need to use WPA encryption
for ethernet you need to use encrypted PPPoE

then this will not be possible

There's nothing new about this. It's the flaw of mac based authentication systems and it's been around for quite a while now. The only way to resolve it is to use a different authentication method that requires a sign in and is encrypted.
