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 manu-

 

ally 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 Group1.

 

 

Note: If the VPN firewall is rebooted, the table data is lost until the VPN firewall rediscovers the devices.
