Set Up IP/MAC Bindings
IP/MAC binding allows you to bind an IPv4 or IPv6 address to a MAC address and the other
way around. Some computers or devices are configured with static addresses. To prevent
users from changing their static IP addresses, the IP/MAC binding feature needs to be
enabled on the wireless VPN firewall. If the wireless VPN firewall detects packets with an IP
address that matches the IP address in the IP/MAC Bindings table but does not match the
related MAC address in the IP/MAC Bindings table (or the other way around), the packets are
dropped. If you have enabled the logging option for the IP/MAC binding feature, these
packets are logged before they are dropped. The wireless VPN firewall displays the total
number of dropped packets that violate either the IP-to-MAC binding or the MAC-to-IP
binding.
