VX220 IP to MAC binding
G'day from a newbie :)
First problem here is forum strict entry protocol won't find my VX220-G2v or in fact any VX220 so I chose an Archer model merely to be accepted.
Second problem, unless I am blind, is no ability to add a screen-grab image so I shall have to spell it out with words.
Internode sent me the VX220 to replace my TG789. What I cannot find anywhere is a User Manual that addresses Access Control and IP/MAC binding.
In my TG789 I use a single menu to set up Access Control permitting me to fix all my connecting devices to an individual IP address. Examples, my PC is always given 10.1.1.10, Phone 10.1.1.20, Smart TV 10.1.1.150, etc. I have 23 such fixed IP allocations and each I give a name to.
With the VX220 there are 2 menus to seeming cover the single menu in the TG789. The VX220 menus are Access Control and another menu for IP and MAC binding. There is also an ARP list. I can't figure out how to use these. In one place I can identify a device by MAC and associate an IP but cannot bind it. In another place I can bind an IP to a MAC but not give it a name. These 2 menus do not seem to talk to each other.
The VX220 seems to defy logic when trying to configure it. When I think I have what I may want and enable Access Control I am denied access by my cable-connected PC. I have to connect via WiFi and then disable Access Control. My PC then connects but all devices are allocated sequential incrementing IPs beginning at 10.1.1.10 and ignore my entered configuration/allocation.
I'm in desperate need of a detailed User Manual but suspect none exists. Hopefully experts here will be able to assist :)
