Static DHCP mappings can be used to assign the same IP address every time to a particular
host. This can be helpful if you dene access rules on the rewall or on other hosts on your
LAN based on IP address, but still want to use DHCP. Alternatively, you can keep the IP
address box blank to assign an IP out of the available range, when you are using the “Deny
unknown clients” option.
Click the + icon at the bottom of the DHCP conguration page to add a static DHCP
mapping.
In the MAC address box, ll in the system’s MAC address in the format xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx.
For Windows NT/2000/XP clients, you can get determine the MAC address by opening up
a command prompt and typing ‘ipcong’. For Windows 95/98/ME clients, go to Start, Run,
winipcfg. For Unix clients, use ifcong. In the IP address box, ll in the IP address you want
to be assigned to the client, or leave it blank to automatically assign one from the available
DHCP range. If you enter a static IP address, it must not be within the range of the DHCP
server.
It is recommended you ll in a description in the Description box to remind you what this
entry is for, though this is optional.
Click Save when you are nished and the mapping will be added.
