Host IP & Group
This screen lets you assign Static IPs, define the access group (see Access Filters), and
bind multiple PPPoE sessions to individual hosts on the LAN. Static IPs (reservations
in the Pro's DHCP table) should be assigned for all Virtual Servers, Laptops (to avoid
IP conflicts when their cards sleep) and printers connected directly to the LAN.
