MAC addresses are automatically added to the MAC addresses list when a DHCP client receives an IP address from a DHCP server under Address Manager control.

You can also add MAC addresses manually in two ways:
  • By adding a MAC address on the MAC addresses page.
  • By specifying a MAC addresses when assigning an IP address. For more information, refer to Assigning IPv4 addresses.

To add a MAC address on the MAC addresses page:

  1. Select the Devices tab in the sidebar, then select MAC addresses.
  2. Select New.
  3. Set the following parameters:
    • Address—enter the MAC address in the format nnnnnnnnnnnn, nn-nn-nn-nn-nn-nn, or nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn where nn is a hexadecimal value from 00 to FF.
    • Name—enter a descriptive name for the MAC address.
    • MAC pool—select a MAC pool to associate with the address.
      Note: The DENY pool is a default pool provided by Address Manager. You can use this pool to deny specific MAC addresses from obtaining an IP address from a DHCP server. Pools that you define on the MAC pools page also appear in this list.
  4. In the Change control section, add comments if required.
  5. Select Save.
Address Manager will display the MAC address as nn-nn-nn-nn-nn-nn regardless of the format used when adding the MAC address.
