Only an IP address that has been allocated using the IP Address Allocation feature can be bound

to a MAC address. If the IP address you want to bind is not displayed in the query results, check
the IP Address Allocation list to verify that the IP address you want to bind has already been

allocated. For more information about allocating IP addresses, see "

Allocating IP addresses

."

8.

Enter the MAC address for the binding you want to create in the MAC Address field. A valid MAC
address format is ##:##:##:##:##:##.
For example,

00:24:82:1e:3b:81

is a valid entry.

Using the IP/MAC auto scanning feature discovers IP addresses and the current MAC addresses
associated with them. IMC auto populates the IP Address, MAC Address, Device Name and Device

Type fields when the information is available, thus ensuring consistency in naming conventions
across management modules in IMC. H3C recommends using the auto scanning feature whenever

possible.

Enter the owner of the binding in the Owner field.
