Enter Client MAC Address (Required):
This is the field where you enter the Client’s computer or device MAC
(Media Access Control) address.
The MAC address is a unique number assigned by the manufacturer to any Ethernet networking device, such
as a network adapter, that allows the network to identify it at the hardware level. For all practical purposes, this
number is usually permanent. Unlike IP addresses, which can change every time a computer logs onto the
network, the MAC address of a device stays the same, making it a valuable hardware identifier for the network.
When entering the MAC address information, type the 12-digit MAC address in the following format:
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx including the colons.
Enter Client IP Address (Required):
Enter the IP address for which you wish to assign to a client’s computer
or device MAC address.
An address valid for the subnet for which the interface is configured. Care should be used to ensure that there
is no conflict with any pre-existing devices on that subnet which may have been already configured to sue
statically assigned IP addresses.
This address should have been provided by your Network Administrator.
Click on the
Finish
button. You will return to the DHCP Server Settings dialog window and the entered data will be
visible on the table at the bottom of the window.
To delete an address, select it in the table and click on the
Delete
button. To edit an existing address, select it in the
table and click on the
Edit
button.
Click on the
Save
button for changes to be saved without activating the interface until you reboot the unit, the
Apply
button will save your settings and apply them immediately. To revert to the previous defaults, click on the
Revert
button.
