IP/MAC Binding
Path: Network > LAN > IP/MAC Binding
Another available security measure is to only allow outbound traffic (from the LAN to option) when the LAN
node has an IP address matching the MAC address bound to it. This is IP/MAC Binding, and by enforcing the
gateway to validate the source traffic‘s IP address with the unique MAC Address of the configured LAN node,
you can ensure that the traffic from that the IP address is not spoofed. In the event of a violation (i.e., the traffic‘s
source IP address doesn‘t match up with the expected MAC address having the same IP address) the packets will
be dropped and can be logged for diagnosis.
