Adding IP/MAC addresses

To add an IP/MAC address

1Go to Firewall > IP/MAC Binding > Static IP/MAC.

2Select New to add an IP address/MAC address pair.

3Enter the IP Address and the MAC Address.

You can bind multiple IP addresses to the same MAC address. You cannot bind multiple MAC addresses to the same IP address.

However, you can set the IP address to 0.0.0.0 for multiple MAC addresses. This means that all packets with these MAC addresses are matched with the IP/MAC binding list.

Similarly, you can set the MAC address to 00:00:00:00:00:00 for multiple IP addresses. This means that all packets with these IP addresses are matched with the IP/MAC binding list.

4Type a Name for the new IP/MAC address pair.

The name can contain numbers (0-9), uppercase and lowercase letters (A-Z, a-z), and the special characters - and _. Other special characters and spaces are not allowed.

5Select the Enable check box to enable IP/MAC binding for the IP/MAC pair.

6Select OK to save the IP/MAC binding pair.
