8.3 The Static DHCP Screen
This table allows you to assign IP addresses on the LAN to specific individual computers based on
their MAC Addresses.
Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address is
assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example,
00:A0:C5:00:00:02.
Use this screen to change your VMG's static DHCP settings. Click Network Setting > Home

DESCRIPTION
Select how the VMG handles clients' DNS information requests.
•
IPv4/IPv6 DNS Server: The VMG forwards the requests to both the IPv4 and IPv6
DNS servers and sends clients the first DNS information it receives.
•
IPv6 DNS Server Only: The VMG forwards the requests to the IPv6 DNS server and
sends clients the DNS information it receives.
•
IPv4 DNS Server Only: The VMG forwards the requests to the IPv4 DNS server and
sends clients the DNS information it receives.
•
IPv6 DNS Server First: The VMG forwards the requests to the IPv6 DNS server first
and then the IPv4 DNS server. Then it sends clients the first DNS information it receives.
•
IPv4 DNS Server First: The VMG forwards the requests to the IPv4 DNS server first
and then the IPv6 DNS server. Then it sends clients the first DNS information it receives.
Click Apply to save your changes.

DESCRIPTION
Click this to add a new static DHCP entry.
This is the index number of the entry.
This field displays whether the client is connected to the VMG.
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.
This field displays the IP address relative to the # field listed above.
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.
