MAC Address
Enter the MAC address of the client. Do not enter an address in use by another
DHCP binding.
Type
If you chose Hardware Address from the Identifier drop-down menu, choose
Ethernet or IEEE802 to set the MAC address type of the client.
Client Name (Optional)
Enter a name to identify the client. The name should be a hostname only, not a
domain-style name. For example, router is an acceptable name, but
router.cisco.com is not.
DNS Properties
The Domain Name System (DNS) is a database of Internet hostnames with their
corresponding IP addresses distributed over designated DNS servers. It enables
network users to refer to hosts by name, rather than by IP addresses, which are
harder to remember. Use this window to enable the use of DNS servers for
hostname-to-address translation.

DNS IP Address
Enter the IP addresses of the DNS servers that you want the router to send DNS
requests to.
Click the Add, Edit, or Delete buttons to administer DNS IP address information.
