Use the Networking > DHCP Reservations page to reserve certain IP addresses for specified devices, identified by their MAC addresses. Whenever the DHCP server receives a request from a device, the hardware address is compared with the database. If the device is found, then the reserved IP address is used. Otherwise, an IP address is assigned automatically from the DHCP pool.

• MAC Address: Enter the MAC address of the host under a VLAN.
