You can define static hosts, which you can then use in security rules and policies.
This definition can also be used to account for DHCP Reservation, where a static IP is assigned as part of the DHCP flow based on the client's MAC address.
You can’t create static hosts learned via BGP. Instead, you can:
Define a network range for the site that includes the static host
Create a global IP Range for the host
Translated IP shows the IP address that the PoP translates for the internal host IP address. When Static Range Translation (Administration > System Settings) is enabled for the account, you can define the translated IP range in the Networks screen.
To add a host to a site:
From the navigation menu, click Network > Sites and select the site.
From the navigation menu, click Site Configuration > Static Host Reservations.
Click New. The Add Host panel opens.
Enter these settings for the host:
Name
IP Address
(Optional) MAC address
Click Apply. The New Host panel closes, and the host is added to the screen.
Click Save. The host is added to the site.
Editing a Host
Use the Edit Host panel to edit the settings for a host.
To edit a host:
From the navigation menu, click Network > Sites and select the site.
From the navigation menu, click Site Configuration > Static Host Reservations.
In the Name column, click the host.
The Edit Host panel opens.
Edit the settings for the host.
Click Apply. The Edit Host panel closes.
Click Save. The changes to the host are saved.
Deleting a Host
Before you can delete a host, make sure that it isn't used somewhere else in the Cato Management Application, such as groups or firewall rules.
