Adding Devices to the LAN Groups Database
To add devices manually to the LAN Groups Database, follow these steps:
1. In the Add Known PCs and Devices section, make the following entries:
•Name. Enter the name of the PC or device.
•IP Address Type. From the pull-down menu, choose how this device receives its IP
address. The choices are:
–Fixed (Set on PC). The IP address is statically assigned on the computer.
–Reserved (DHCP Client). Directs the VPN firewall’s DHCP server to always assign
the specified IP address to this client during the DHCP negotiation (see “Configuring
DHCP Address Reservation” on page 3-8).
•IP Address. Enter the IP address that this computer or device is assigned in the IP
Address field. If the IP Address Type is Reserved (DHCP Client), the VPN firewall will
reserve the IP address for the associated MAC address.
•MAC Address. Enter the MAC address of the computer’s network interface in the MAC
Address field. 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 pull-down menu, select the LAN Group to which the computer will be
assigned. (Group 1 is the default group.)
2. Click Add. The device will be added to the Known PCs and Devices table.
3. (Optional) To enable DHCP Address Reservation after the entry is in the table, select the
check box for the new table entry and click Save Binding to bind the IP address to the MAC
address for DHCP assignment.
