IP-MAC Binding

1 IP-MAC Binding

This module enables you to bind an ip address to a MAC address. Please notice:

• "IP-MAC Binding" is only available in "gateway" deployment mode.
• If a listed client is configured as "obtain ip address automatically", it will always be assigned with the bound ip address by WFilter's DHCP service.
• If there is another DHCP server existing in your network, please configure this DHCP server to assign listed static ip addresses to clients.
• If you want to apply binding to clients connected with a three layer switch, you need to install "MAC Detector".

2 Settings

• For unlisted IPs, you can choose to:
  • "Block All". No internet access for unlisted IP addresses.
  • "Allow All". Allow internet access for unlisted IP addresses.
  • "Block below IP". Local IP address belongs to the IP ranges will be blocked.
• For unlisted MAC addresses, you can set each lan subnet to assign IP address or not.
  • "Disable". Do not assign IP to unlisted MAC address.
  • "Enable". Assign IP to unlisted MAC address.
• Clear DHCP lease. So clients will get a new IP address.

3 IP-MAC List

• Click the "state" icon, you can turn on/off the binding.

Please notice: even a binding is in "off" state, static ip address will still be assigned by WFilter's DHCP.

4 Scan and Remove

• Scan and Import: scan local ip & mac list for importing.
  • Without "MAC Detector", only local ARP table will be scanned.
  • With "MAC Detector" enabled, it also can import clients detected by "MAC Detector".

• Delete: delete ip-mac list
