Hi there,

does anyone know, if the above option, when configuring static ip addresses is available in Nebula?

I would need that option, for blocking unwanted devices on the network having generally access and i also wonder if there is any other way to acomplish this?

Many thanks for help

Alexander

    Hi @AlexandervonW ,

    There is “IP/MAC binding" on the Nebula. To implement that feature, you can follow the steps below:

    • Go to Configure > Firewall > Interface Page
    • Select the relevant interface and click the Edit button.

    • Enable the DHCP server and enter the required information.
    • Click the + Add button for the Static DHCP table.

    • Create entries in the static DHCP table by specifying the IP address and MAC address for each client.
    • Click the OK button.

    Hi Zyxel_Judy,

    yes, i know there is IP/MAC binding in Nebula, but is there also "DHCP Enforcement" enabled? Because that means, if i do not use for. ex. a DHCP server on that network, only known MAC addresses can have access to the network?

    Thanks for help

    So have you tried a static IP on the network and it work?

    One way to add DHCP only is a switch with DAI (DHCP Snooping) I think

    Hi PeterUK,

    nice to hear from you again. I used another account with my last problem, the same topic with a new USG FLEX 200H.

    No, i did not try that in Neubla, i thought i ask first. As i wrote in my last comment on the USG FLEX 200H topic, i moved back to a ATP500 and there everything is working as it should. (Even the more than one time admin login problem with uOS in macOS is gone, cool!!!)

    But back to topic, may i ask why nobody is using this feature? Why should i use something on a switch, if the firewall has this working and easy to configure feature?

    best

    Alexander

    Just a limitation of Neubla (in other words not added yet) where as stand alone has this feature.

    Hi @AlexandervonW ,

    Currently, there is no "IP/MAC Binding and DHCP Enforcement" with ATP/USG FLEX on Nebula mode.

    You can use the "Cloud Monitoring Mode" to monitor the APT500 on Nebula and to use "IP/MAC Binding and DHCP Enforcement" on Premise mode as a solution.
