Using Address Reservation - NETGEAR WNR2000v2 User Manual

Using Address Reservation

When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN, that computer always
receives the same IP address each time it accesses the router's DHCP server. Reserved IP
addresses should be assigned to computers or servers that require permanent IP settings.
Figure 4-2
To reserve an IP address:
1. Click Add.
2. In the IP Address field, enter the IP address to assign to the computer or server. (Choose an IP
address from the router's LAN subnet, such as 192.168.1.x.)
3. Enter the MAC address of the computer or server.
Tip: If the computer is already present on your network, you can copy its MAC
address from the Attached Devices screen and paste it here.
4. Click Apply to enter the reserved address into the table.
Note: The reserved address is not assigned until the next time the computer contacts
the router's DHCP server. Reboot the computer or access its IP configuration
and force a DHCP release and renew.
To edit or delete a reserved address entry:
1. Click the button next to the reserved address you want to edit or delete.
2. Click Edit or Delete.
