Hi
Just want to ask if it is possible to have MAC reservation on a FortiClient interface?
Like when a user connects, only this IP address is reserved for him based on his device's MAC.
Or has anyone tried it?
I just saw that when I edit the forticlient interface, an option for DHCP can be checked and then configure in Advanced options the mac reservation + access control. However, I cannot assign a valid IP and FortiGate keeps on rejecting the IP I put in it except 0.0.0.0
Your ideas would be a great help as I really need this mac reservation in my remote vpn access.
FortiGate model: 100D
FortiOS: 5.2.2
Thanks,
Linette
