clients.

Enter the MAC address manually or use the MAC address search tool.
To use the MAC address search tool:

2. Click Search to find the MAC address.
3. Once the address has been located, click Add to reserve the address.
To delete a static IP Address:
1. Select the static address you would like to delete.
2. Click Delete.

address.
