Using Address Reservation

When you specify a reserved IP address for a PC on the LAN, that PC will always receive the
same IP address each time it access the firewall's DHCP server. Reserved IP addresses should be
assigned to servers that require permanent IP settings.
Figure 5-2: Groups and Hosts Entry screen
To reserve an IP address, use the Groups and Hosts Entry screen (see
Hosts" on page 6-20).
Note: The reserved address will not be assigned until the next time the PC contacts the firewall's
DHCP server. Reboot the PC or access its IP configuration and force a DHCP release and renew.
