This article explains how to define an address object for endpoints based on their MAC or IP address when they obtain network IPs from a DHCP server.
To locate the endpoints, navigate to Dashboard -> Network -> DHCP.
The DHCP dashboard displays all devices connected to the Firewall that are receiving IP addresses from the DHCP Server. The number of devices shown will vary depending on the total number of devices present in the network.
For instance:
To create a new address, hover the mouse over the device, right-click, and choose 'Create Firewall Address'. Then, specify whether to define it by MAC or IP address.
The next step is to specify a name for the Firewall Address and select 'OK' to save the changes.
