Click VPN in the HOME screen. This screen displays read-only information about the active

the group of security settings related to a specific VPN tunnel.

The following table describes the labels in this screen.

MAC Address

The MAC (Media Access Control) or Ethernet address on a LAN (Local Area 
Network) is unique to your computer (six pairs of hexadecimal notation).
A network interface card such as an Ethernet adapter has a hardwired address that is 
assigned at the factory. This address follows an industry standard that ensures no 
other adapter has a similar address.

Reserve

Select the check box in the heading row to automatically select all check boxes or 
select the check box(es) in each entry to have the ZyWALL always assign the 
selected entry(ies)’s IP address(es) to the corresponding MAC address(es) (and host 
name(s)). You can select up to 128 entries in this table. After you click Apply, the 
MAC address and IP address also display in the corresponding LAN, DMZ or WLAN 
Static DHCP screen (where you can edit them).
