Static lease reservations
The Static Lease Reservations page controls the configuration of MAC address to IP address
mappings and is used to assign a specific IP address to a particular Ethernet MAC address. This is
particularly useful for mobile applications, such as W-WAN where a particular item of mobile
equipment should be issued with the same IP address regardless of when it was last connected
to the network. Up to ten MAC to IP address reservations may be specified.
Note It is important to ensure that the IP addresses specified here DO NOT fall within the IP
address ranges specified in the DHCP server page.
IP Address a.b.c.d
The IP address to be assigned.
MAC Address aa.bb.cc.dd.ee.ff
The MAC address which is to be given the above IP address. As is usual with the configuration
tables, clicking the Add button adds the entry to the table, and clicking the Delete button
removes an existing entry from the table.
Related CLI commands
Two separate commands are required to set up a mapping, these are:

where <instance> can be 0-9.
