Title: Neighbors Config
Post by: Cleona on March 11, 2024, 03:36:07 AM
Hello everyone.
I configured the new features ( Interfaces: Neighbors ).
I specified the mac address of the intranet as an IP addresses,
it is hoped that internal users can only connect through the specified IP addresses.
But the result after setting is not as expected,
users can still make unauthorized changes IP addresses and connect.
Am I missing any steps?

What do you mean by "users can still make unauthorized changes IP addresses and connect"

The Interface > Neighbors, is basically a Static ARP feature, so you can pin a Specific IP to a Specific MAC if you need to do a Static ARP, persistent entry. But it has nothing to do with security or authorization.

Regards,
S.

Taking advantage of the post, what would be the difference between the "Neighbors" feature and "DHCP Static Mappings"?

Neighbors are static ARP entries, not DHCP.
