The Known PCs and Devices table lists the entries in the network database. For each PC
or device, the following fields are displayed:
• Check box. Allows you to select the PC or device in the table.
• Name. The name of the PC or device. For computers that do not support the NetBIOS
protocol, the name is displayed as Unknown (you can edit the entry manually to add a
meaningful name). If the PC or device was assigned an IP address by the DHCP
server, then the name is appended by an asterisk.
• IP Address. The current IP address of the PC or device. For DHCP clients of the
VPN firewall, this IP address does not change. If a PC or device is assigned a static
IP address, you need to update this entry manually after the IP address on the PC or
device has changed.
• MAC Address. The MAC address of the PC or device's network interface.
• Group. Each PC or device can be assigned to a single LAN group. By default, a PC
or device is assigned to Group 1. You can select a different LAN group from the
Group drop-down list in the Add Known PCs and Devices section or on the Edit
Groups and Hosts screen.
• Profile Name. The VLAN to which the PC or device is assigned.
• Action. The Edit table button that provides access to the Edit Groups and Hosts
screen.
