IP/MAC Binding Tab

The IP/MAC Binding feature allows the VPN firewall to bind IP to MAC address and vice-versa.
Some PCs or devices are configured with static (fixed) addresses. To prevent users from changing
static IP addresses, the VPN firewall needs to enable IP/MAC Binding.
If VPN firewall detects packets with matching IP addresses but inconsistent MAC addresses or
vice-versa, it will drop such packets. If users have enabled the logging option for IP/MAC Binding
on their PCs or devices, these packets will be logged before being dropped. The VPN firewall
displays the total count of dropped packets, which violated either IP to MAC Binding, or MAC to
IP Binding.
To enable IP/MAC Binding and add IP and MAC address for binding:
1. Select Security > Address Filter from the main/submenu.
The Source MAC Filter screen displays as the default with the IP/MAC Binding tab shown.
2. Click the IP/MAC Binding tab to view the options available.
