Chapter 2 Introducing the Web Configurator

Table 8 HOME > DHCP Table (continued)

LABEL

DESCRIPTION

MAC Address

The MAC (Media Access Control) or Ethernet address on a LAN (Local Area

 

Network) is unique to your computer (six pairs of hexadecimal notation).

 

A network interface card such as an Ethernet adapter has a hardwired address that is

 

assigned at the factory. This address follows an industry standard that ensures no

 

other adapter has a similar address.

 

 

Reserve

Select the check box in the heading row to automatically select all check boxes or

 

select the check box(es) in each entry to have the ZyWALL always assign the

 

selected entry(ies)’s IP address(es) to the corresponding MAC address(es) (and host

 

name(s)). You can select up to 32 entries in this table. After you click Apply, the MAC

 

address and IP address also display in the Static DHCP screen (where you can edit

 

them) for the specified interface.

 

 

Refresh
