IP/MAC binding

If you have added DHCP servers, you can use DHCP IP/MAC binding to reserve an IP address for a particular device on the network according to the MAC address of the device. When you add the MAC address and an IP address to the IP/MAC binding list, the DHCP server always assigns this IP address to the MAC address. IP/MAC binding pairs apply to all FortiGate DHCP servers.
