IP Address Mapping Reservation

You can use the IP Address Mapping Reservation option to give a static IP address to particular computers on your network. Each time a computer is powered on and connects to the network, it will receive the same IP address. Static IP addresses are frequently assigned to network resources such as printers, servers, hubs, and routers that are consistently shared by network clients.

To assign a static IP Address:

Enter the MAC address manually or use the MAC address search tool.

To use the MAC address search tool:

1.Enter the IP address of the computer.

2.Click Search to find the MAC address.

3.Once the address has been located, click Add to reserve the address.

To delete a static IP Address:

1.Select the static address you would like to delete.

2.Click Delete.

Note: Refer to the User Guide Glossary for information about determining a computer’s netmask address.
