Add/Edit DHCP Reservation
This option lets you reserve IP addresses, and assign the same IP address to the
network device with the specified MAC address any time it requests an IP address. This
is almost the same as when a device has a static IP address except that the device must
still request an IP address from the router. The router will provide the device the same IP
address every time. DHCP Reservations are helpful for server computers on the local
network that are hosting applications such as Web and FTP. Servers on your network
should either use a static IP address or use this option.
Computer Name
You can assign a name for each computer that is given a reserved IP address. This may
help you keep track of which computers are assigned this way. Example: Game Server.
IP Address:
The LAN address that you want to reserve.
MAC Address
To input the MAC address of your system, enter it in manually or connect to the router's
Web-Management interface from the system and click the Copy Your PC's MAC
Address button.
A MAC address is usually located on a sticker on the bottom of a network device. The
MAC address is comprised of twelve digits. Each pair of hexadecimal digits are usually
separated by dashes or colons such as 00-0D-88-11-22-33 or 00:0D:88:11:22:33. If your
network device is a computer and the network card is already located inside the
computer, you can connect to the router from the computer and click the Copy Your
PC's MAC Address button to enter the MAC address.
As an alternative, you can locate a MAC address in a specific operating system by
following the steps below:
Windows 98
Windows Me
Windows 2000
Windows XP
Mac OS X

Specifies whether the entry will be active or inactive.
Go to the Start menu, select Run, type in winipcfg, and hit Enter. A
popup window will be displayed. Select the appropriate adapter from
the pull-down menu and you will see the Adapter Address. This is the
MAC address of the device.
Go to your Start menu, select Programs, select Accessories, and
select Command Prompt. At the command prompt type ipconfig /all
and hit Enter. The physical address displayed for the adapter
connecting to the router is the MAC address.
Go to the Apple Menu, select System Preferences, select Network,
and select the Ethernet Adapter connecting to the router. Select the
Ethernet button and the Ethernet ID will be listed. This is the same as
the MAC address.
