DGFV338 ProSafe Wireless ADSL Modem VPN Firewall Router Reference Manual
The Known PCs and Devices table lists all current entries in the Network Database. For each PC
or device, the following data is displayed.
Table 6-2. Known PCs and Devices table
Item Description
Name The name of the PC or device. Sometimes, this can not be determined, and will be
listed as Unknown. In this case, you can edit the entry to add a meaningful name.
IP Address The current IP address. For DHCP clients, where the IP address is allocated by the
DHCP Server in this device, this IP address will not change. Where the IP address is
set on the PC (as a fixed IP address), you may need to update this entry manually if
the IP address on the PC is changed.
MAC Address The MAC address of the PC. The MAC address is a low-level network identifier
which is fixed at manufacture.
Group Each PC or device must be in a single group. The Group column indicates which
group each entry is in. By default, all entries are in the Default group.
Note: If the firewall is rebooted, the table data is lost until the firewall rediscovers the
devices. To force the firewall to look for attached devices, click the Refresh button.
DHCP Log
The DHCP Log is accessible from the DHCP Log link on the LAN Setup screen, located under
Network Configuration on the main menu.
