Question:
Why is it that a device not listed in the IP/MAC binding is still able to receive an IP and access the network?

Answer: 

The IP/MAC Binding feature works as follows: 

- A client will be blocked if it uses a static IP address listed in the binding table but its MAC address is not listed. 

- A client will also be blocked if the assigned IP does not come from this gateway's DHCP server.
