Description This article describes how to see the MAC address name instead of the MAC address in DHCP IP address assignment rules in FortiGate.

Under Interface -> port'x' -> DHCP server -> Advance -> IP Address Assignment Rules, only the name of the MAC address that was configured is visible. In lowercase (MANAGEMENT TEAM) in the above example and the MAC address which was configured in uppercase cannot be seen as the name of the mac address but only the MAC address (64:38:E3:E5:A5:05).
