The DHCP Server can also assign Static Entries, or static IP addresses, to computers on the LAN. Static IP addresses should be assigned to servers that require permanent IP settings.
Select the Enable DHCP Server.
Click on Add Static Entry. The SonicWALL DHCP Setup window appears.
Enter the IP address assigned to your computer or server in the Static IP Address field.
Enter the Ethernet (MAC) address of your computer or server in the Ethernet Address field.
The SonicWALL fills in the Default Gateway and Subnet Mask fields.
Select Set DNS Servers using the SonicWALL Network settings to use the DNS servers that you specified in the SonicWALL Network section.
If you want to use different DNS servers than the ones specified in the SonicWALL Network section, then select Specify manually. Enter your DNS Server addresses in the DNS Server 1, DNS Server 2, and DNS Server 3 fields. The DNS servers are used by computers on your LAN to resolve domain names to IP addresses. You can enter only one DNS Server address, but multiple DNS entries improve performance and reliability.
Enter your WINS Server address(es) in the WINS Server 1 and WINS Server 2 fields. WINS Servers resolve Windows-based computer names to IP addresses. If you do not have a WINS server, leave these fields blank.
Click Update. When the SonicWALL has been updated, a message confirming the update is displayed at the bottom of your Web browser window. Continue this process until you have added all the desired static entries.
