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.
