Section 5 - Advanced Network Conguration
IP/MAC Binding
Path: Network > LAN > IP/MAC Binding
Another available security measure is to only allow outbound trac (from the LAN to option) when the LAN
node has an IP address matching the MAC address bound to it. This is IP/MAC Binding, and by enforcing the
gateway to validate the source trac‘s IP address with the unique MAC Address of the congured LAN node,
you can ensure that the trac from that the IP address is not spoofed. In the event of a violation (i.e., the trac‘s
source IP address doesn‘t match up with the expected MAC address having the same IP address) the packets will
be dropped and can be logged for diagnosis.
1. Click Network > LAN > IP/MAC Binding.
2. Click Add New IP/MAC Binding to create a new entry.
3. Enter a name, MAC address, IP address and select whether to turn dropped packet logging on or o.
Click Save.
