Set static IP to MAC

[dora]

How can I set specific static IP address to specific MAC in the firewall?
There is an option or I need to do it only on the device?

I want to set specific IP via the firewall to specific MAC.

I use WebUI Quantum Spark SMB 1600

To set a static IP address to a MAC address on a Quantum Spark appliance, follow these steps:

1. Log in to the WebUI:

   • Open a web browser and connect to the Quantum Spark appliance's WebUI.

2. Navigate to the Network Settings:

   • Go to the Device view.
   • Click on the Network section.
   • Select the Local Network page.

3. Configure the Static IP Address:

   • In the Local Network page, look for the DHCP server settings.
   • Find the section for Static IP Address Assignment or DHCP Reservations.
   • Add a new entry by specifying the MAC address of the device and the desired static IP address.

4. Save the Configuration:

   • Click Apply or Save to save the changes.

Here is a more detailed step-by-step guide:

1. Log in to the WebUI:

   • Connect your computer to the Quantum Spark appliance.
   • Open a web browser and enter the appliance's IP address (e.g.,http://my.firewall).

2. Navigate to the Network Settings:

   • From the left navigation panel, click on Device.
   • Click on Network.
   • Select Local Network.

3. Configure the Static IP Address:

   • In the Local Network page, find the DHCP server section.
   • Look for Static IP Address Assignment or DHCP Reservations.
   • Click on Add or New to create a new reservation.
   • Enter the MAC address of the device you want to assign a static IP to.
   • Enter the desired static IP address.
   • Optionally, you can add a description for the reservation.

4. Save the Configuration:

   • Click Apply or Save to save the changes.

By following these steps, you can successfully assign a static IP address to a specific MAC address on your Quantum Spark appliance.

Only thing I can add is to make sure the DHCP functionality has to be enabled (fw hands out IP's to clients) 

Then you can make reservation

Thank you !

You are welcome.

This is wrong ! See @PhoneBoy s answer for the correct configuration !  What to do additionally to make it work would be to enable this feature in DHCP settings, Assign for known hosts only:

[the_rock]

Fair enough. Not sure how feedback is given for Copilot AI 🙂

[G_W_Albrecht]

If you try to perform the steps you give you will see that it is impossible, as there is no way to define reservations and the Local Network page has no DHCP server settings.

Fact is that you have to go to the bridge (when defining that for all LAN & WLAN clients) or port to set DHCP to Assign ... for known hosts only, and you have to define Network Objects for all clients to make this work.

If you look into the links at the end of you post you also will see that there is no procedure like the one given by AI, and i just wonder who has set it to Solution when it is neither documented nor does work at all...

I tend to only post solutions i have either tested/confirmed myself or found them in CP documentation or CheckMates dicussions (giving the reference for it).

[the_rock]

Thats true, I never tested it, its literally what was given by Copilot AI, thats it.

[G_W_Albrecht]

So better never post it 😉

[the_rock]

I cant control how AI responds LOL

The correct way to do this on a Quantum Spark appliance is to create an object for the host in question (Users and Objects > Network Resources > Network Objects, tap New)
You can specify the MAC address for the host here, which will set the DHCP reservation.

Thank you !
