Setting

Description

 

 

Name

Enter the name of the computer or device.

 

 

IP Address Type

From the drop-down list, select how the computer or device receives its IP address:

 

Fixed (set on PC). The IP address is statically assigned on the computer or

 

device.

 

Reserved (DHCP Client). Directs the UTM’s DHCP server to assign the

 

specified IP address always to this client during the DHCP negotiation (see Set

 

Up Address Reservation on page 116).

 

Note: When you assign a reserved IP address to a client, the selected IP address

 

needs to be outside the range of addresses allocated to the DHCP server pool.

 

 

IP Address

In the IP Address field, enter the IP address that this computer or device is

 

assigned. If the IP address type is Reserved (DHCP Client), the UTM reserves the

 

IP address for the associated MAC address.

 

 

MAC Address

Enter the MAC address of the computer’s or device’s network interface. The MAC

 

address format is six colon-separated pairs of hexadecimal characters (0–9 and

 

A–F), such as 01:23:45:67:89:AB.

 

 

Group

From the drop-down list, select the group to which the computer or device is

 

assigned. (Group 1 is the default group.)

Profile Name

From the drop-down list, select the VLAN profile to which the computer or device is

 

assigned. (defaultVlan is the default VLAN group.)

 

 

2.Click the Add table button to add the computer or device to the Known PCs and Devices table.

3.As an optional step: To enable DHCP address reservation for the entry that you just added to the Known PCs and Devices table, select the check box for the table entry, and click the Save Binding button to bind the IP address to the MAC address for DHCP assignment.

Modify Computers or Devices in the Network Database

To modify computers or devices manually in the network database:
