Configuring DHCP Address Reservation
A computer (or device) will always receive the same IP address, if you specify a reserved IP
address for the computer (or device) on the LAN (based on the MAC address of the device), each
time it accesses the 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 must be outside of the DHCP Server pool.
To reserve an IP address, manually enter the device in the
LAN Groups
tab, specifying
Reserved
(DHCP Client)
,
as described in
“Adding Devices to the LAN Groups Database” on page 3-7
.
Note:
The reserved address will not be assigned until the next time the PC contacts the
VPN Firewall’s DHCP server. Reboot the PC or access its IP configuration and
force a DHCP release and renew.
