Item

Description

 

 

Name

The name of the PC or device. Sometimes, this can not be determined, and will be

 

listed as Unknown. In this case, you can edit the entry to add a meaningful name.

 

 

IP Address

The current IP address. For DHCP clients, where the IP address is allocated by the

 

DHCP Server in this device, this IP address will not change. Where the IP address is

 

set on the PC (as a fixed IP address), you may need to update this entry manually if

 

the IP address on the PC is changed.

 

 

MAC Address

The MAC address of the PC. The MAC address is a low-level network identifier

 

which is fixed at manufacture.

 

 

Group

Each PC or device must be in a single group. The Group column indicates which

 

group each entry is in. By default, all entries are in the Default group.

 

 

Note: If the firewall is rebooted, the table data is lost until the firewall rediscovers the devices. To force the firewall to look for attached devices, click the Refresh button.

DHCP Log

The DHCP Log is accessible from the DHCP Log link on the LAN Setup screen, located under Network Configuration on the main menu.
