How to appoint IP based on MAC?

« on: March 06, 2020, 08:56:01 am »

Hi all,

I am switching from a Draytek router to the latest version of OPNSense.
On the Draytek there is an option named "Bind IP to MAC". You can manually add a MAC address and appoint a LAN IP to that specific device with that MAC, so this device always receive the same IP.
How do I set this up in OPNSense?

Thanks!

On the config page for Service - DHCPv4 (lower end) of the respective interface you can reserve IP's based on MAC. If you turn on static ARP you can have ONLY THESE clients to be able to reach the interwebs....
