Section 1: Host IP

Host IP allows administrators to classify client computers into groups and moderate those groups through the use of Access Filters and Block URL. Administrators will also be able to specify if the clien PC will be able to use WAN1, WAN2 or both. Use this feature in the following situations:

    When you have Multi-Session PPPoE and wish to bind each session to a particular PC on your LAN.
    When you wish to use the Access Filter feature. This requires that each PC be identified by using the Host IP Setup screen.
    When you wish to have different Block URL settings for different PCs. This requires that each PC be identified by using the Host IP Setup screen. (You do not have to use the Host IP feature to apply the same Block URL settings to all PCs.)
    When you wish to reserve a particular (LAN) IP address for a particular PC on your LAN. This allows the PC to use DHCP (Windows calls this Obtain an IP address automatically) while gaining the benefits of a fixed IP address. The PC’s IP address will never change, so it can be provided to other people and applications.
