10.1.2 Assign static IP addresses to LAN clients
Scenario: You have set up an FTP server within your LAN.
Goal: Assign a fixed IP address to the host of the FTP server and prevent the failure of access to the
FTP server owing to the change of IP address.
Solution: You can configure the DHCP reservation function to reach the goal.
Assume that the information of the FTP server includes:
−
The fixed IP address for the server: 192.168.0.136
−
MAC address of the FTP server host: D4:61:DA:1B:CD:89
Procedure:
Step 1 Log in to the web UI of the router.
Step 2 Navigate to System Settings > DHCP Reservation.
Step 3 (Optional) Set the device name for the host.
Step 4 Set the MAC Address of the host, which is D4:61:DA:1B:CD:89 in this example.
Step 5 Set the IP Address reserved for the host, which is 192.168.0.136 in this example.
Step 6 Click +Add.
---End
After the configuration is completed, the page is shown as below and the FTP server host always
gets the same IP address when connecting to the router, which is 192.168.0.136 in this example.
