Network Database Group Names screen appears.
2. Select the radio button next to any group name to make that name active for editing.
3. Type a new name in the field.
4. Select and edit other group names if desired.
5. Click Apply to save your settings.
Configuring DHCP Address Reservation
When you specify a reserved IP address for a device on the LAN (based on the MAC
address of the device), that computer or device will always receive the same IP address 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, enter the device on the LAN Groups screen, specifying Reserved
(DHCP Client), as described in “Adding Devices to the LAN Groups Database” on page 36.
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.
