Router and Network Management

6-17

The Known PCs and Devices table contains a table of all IP devices that the firewall has 
discovered on the local network. This screen is accessible from the Administration main menu 
and the LAN Groups submenu. The Groups and Hosts screen will display showing the Known 
PCs and Devices table shown below:.

The Groups and Hosts database is an automatically-maintained list of all known PCs and network 
devices. PCs and devices become known by the following methods: 

•

DHCP Client Requests. By default, the DHCP server in this Router is enabled, and will 
accept and respond to DHCP client requests from PCs and other network devices. These 
requests also generate an entry in the Network Database. Because of this, leaving the DHCP 
Server feature (on the LAN screen) enabled is strongly recommended. 

•

Scanning the Network. The local network is scanned using standard methods such as ARP. 
This will detect active devices which are not DHCP clients. However, sometimes the name of 
the PC or device cannot be accurately determined and will be shown as Unknown.
