Figure 7-4:  Network Database
Advantages of the Network Database 
Generally, you do not need to enter either IP address or MAC addresses. 
Instead, you can just select the desired PC or device. 
No need to reserve an IP address for a PC in the DHCP Server. 
All IP address assignments made by the DHCP Server will be maintained until the PC or 
device is removed from the database, either by expiry (inactive for a long time) or by you. 
No need to use a Fixed IP on PCs 
Because the address allocated by the DHCP Server will never change, you don't need to assign 
a fixed IP to a PC to ensure it always has the same IP address. 
MAC-level Control over PCs 
The Network Database uses the MAC address to identify each PC or device. So changing a 
PC's IP address does not affect any restrictions on that PC. 
Group & Individual Control over PCs 
You can assign PCs to Groups, and apply restrictions to each Group, using the Firewall Rules 
screen. 
You can also select the Groups to be covered by the Block Sites feature. 
If necessary, you can also create Firewall Rules to apply to a single PC. 
Because the MAC address is used to identify each PC, users cannot avoid these 
restrictions by changing their IP address.
