Reserving a DHCP IP address for a particular MAC address. |
| Components |
- All FortiGate units in NAT mode
|
| Steps or Commands |
You can configure the FortiGate unit to assign specific IP addresses to a computer, based on its MAC address.
Use the CLI command config system dhcp reserved-address to reserve an IP address for a particular client identified by its device MAC address and type of connection. The DHCP server then always assigns the reserved IP address to the client. The number of reserved addresses that you can define ranges from 10 to 200 depending on the FortiGate model.
Use the following commands :
config system dhcp reserved-address
edit <name_str>
set ip <address_ipv4>
set mac <address_hex>
set type {regular | ipsec}
end
!! Note : an IP address bound to a MAC address must be in the range of IP addresses (start-ip to end-ip) from an existing DHCP server already configured on the FortiGate.
For more details about DHCP configuration , see the FortiGate CLI Reference.or related articles here below.
