Neighbors
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
The neighbors section (available as of 24.1) allows the definition of static IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
|
|
on your network.
|
|
|
|
For IPv4 entries will be saved into the :code:`ARP` table, IPv6 uses :code:`NDP` to register machines mac addresses
|
|
to IP addresses.
|
|
|
|
These tables determine to which (physcal) machine an IP address is connected, which can be practical when arp
|
|
messages are not being received or we want to force the ip/mac combination for specific clients.
|
|
|
|
When opening the page it will show a grid containing all static entries defined, these may also originate from
|
|
other components (such as dhcp), in which case you cannot edit them. Entries defined here do contain the following
|
|
options:
|
|

Ether Address Hardware MAC address of the cllient (format xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx)
|
|
IP address IP address to assign to the provided MAC address, which will either end up in the arp (IPv4) or ndp (IPv6) table

.. Tip::
|
|
|
|
To analyse the current contents of the ARP or NDP tables, use the interface diagnostics menu detailed in
|
|
the :doc:`diagnostics </manual/diagnostics_interfaces>` document.
