The MAC to IP Mappings panel in the Advanced Configuration window lets you add a table of MAC to IP address mappings for devices with statically assigned IP addresses. You can also import a file of MAC to IP mappings to the list. Any changes made in this panel are written immediately to the NAC Manager database.
The MAC to IP mappings are sent to the NAC appliances in the configuration enforce. The NAC appliances will use this table to resolve IP addresses.
To access this panel, open the Advanced Configuration window (Tools > Management and Configuration > Advanced Configurations from the menu bar) and expand the Global and Appliance Settings folder in the left-panel tree.

34.34.34.44.44.48, 122.111.45.48, description of mapping
MAC addresses can be delimited with colons (:), periods (.), or dashes (-), but they will be displayed in the table with colons. Lines starting with "#" or "//" will be ignored.
