If you click Static DHCP Configuration in the Static DHCP screen or the Edit icon next to a static DHCP
entry, the following screen displays. Using a static DHCP means a client will always have the same IP
address assigned to it by the DHCP server. Assign a fixed IP address to a device by selecting the
interface group of this device and its IP address type and selecting the device/computer from a list or
manually entering its MAC address and assigned IP address.
Figure 108 Static DHCP: Static DHCP Configuration/Edit
The following table describes the labels in this screen.
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.
IP Address This field displays the IP address relative to the # field listed above.
Modify Click the Edit icon to have the IP address field editable and change it.
Click the Delete icon to delete a static DHCP entry. A window displays asking you to confirm
that you want to delete the selected entry.
