Using the Static IP List to Block Devices

The Static IP list can be used to control access to your network.

To block access by devices that are not on the list or do not have the correct IP address:

•Block MAC address on the list with wrong IP address—Check this box to prevent a device from accessing your network if its IP address has been changed. For example, if you assigned a static IP address of 192.168.1.100 and someone configures the device to use 192.168.149, the device is not allowed to connect to your network. This discourages users from changing their device IP addresses without your permission. Uncheck the box to allow access regardless of the current IP address assignment.

•Block MAC address not on the list—Check this box to block access from devices that are not included in the Static IP list. This prevents unknown devices from accessing your network. Uncheck the box to allow access by any device that is configured with an IP address in the correct range.

DNS Local Database

Domain Name Service (DNS) matches a domain name to its routable IP address. You can set up a DNS Local Database that enables the device to act as a local DNS server for commonly used domain names. Using a local database might be faster than using an external DNS server. If a requested domain name is not found in the local database, the request is forwarded to the DNS server that is specified on the Setup Network > WAN Setting page.

If you enable this feature, you also must configure the client devices to use the device as the DNS server. By default, Windows computers are set to obtain a DNS server address automatically from the default gateway.
