Set Up DHCP Address Reservation

When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer or device on the LAN (based on the MAC address of the device), that computer or device always receives the same IP address each time it accesses the wireless VPN firewall’s DHCP server. Reserved IP addresses should be assigned to servers or access points that require permanent IP address settings. The reserved IP address that you select needs to be outside of the DHCP server pool.

To reserve and bind an IP address to a MAC address, select Reserved (DHCP Client) from the IP Address Type drop-down list on the LAN Groups screen and save the binding by clicking the Save Binding button on the same screen. For detailed steps, see Add Computers or Devices to the Network Database on page 69.

Note: The reserved address is not assigned until the next time the computer or device contacts the wireless VPN firewall’s DHCP server. Reboot the computer or device, or access its IP configuration and force a DHCP release and renew.
