How To Register New Device to PfSense DHCP Server.

The procedure below assumes that you already have the MAC Address of the device.

1. Login to PfSense Server

4. Click Add button in the bottom of the list
5. Mac Address: Enter the device mac address
6. Client Identifier: Name of the device user
7. IP address: Enter the your desired ip address (usually, I just encode sequencially from step#3, so for example if the last entry in step#3 is 192.168.0.26 then I will encode 192.168.0.27 here)
8. Hostname: Name of the device user (Note: Do not enter space character)
9. Description: This is optional (You can encode the today’s date so you can trace back when did you registered this device)
