DHCP Address Reservations


If you use the DHCP server on the Fortigate you can configure DHCP address reservations to always assign specific IP addresses to a computer, based on its MAC address.
Use the CLI command config system dhcp reserved-address to reserve an IP address for a particular client identified by its device MAC address and type of connection. The DHCP server then always assigns the reserved IP address to the client. The number of reserved addresses that you can define ranges from 10 to 200 depending on the FortiGate model.
Use the following syntax to always assign 192.168.1.1 to the device with MAC address 00:04:f1:11:11:11.
config system dhcp reserved-address
edit "ip_phone"
set ip 192.168.1.1
set mac 00:04:f1:11:11:11
next
end
