Add Devices Manually

Is there any way to add a device manually to the devices list on the Firewalla Gold rather than waiting for them to be discovered?

The reason that this is a pressing problem for me is that I have just installed a new Firewalla Gold at our office and I need to forward some ports to a couple of Layer 7 SSL accelerators/Load Balancers in our internal network which have a number of virtual IP's on them. However, they are not being picked up by the Firewalla Gold and thus are not available for selection when trying to configure Port Forwarding rules.

Without an ability to manually add devices which are difficult to detect, we can't use the firewall appliance at all as having the ability to set up the port forwarding rules is critical.

Regards,

Glenn

  in the same vein, it could be sorted out with the need to fix dhcp reservations....

  ideally you should be able to enter ahead of time devices by MAC addresses, IP addresses or hostnames, such that DHCP requests from these MAC are automatically mapped to the pre-reserved IP and hostnames, AND create groups and rules ahead of time....

  I have a device that I get alarms for a new device but it won't go to device details so I can name it or add rules, nor does it show up in the device list.  I know the MAC so being able to manually add would be useful.

  It's a smoke alarm and connects intermittently. If I force it firewalla doesn't see it right away and so far I've not been able to catch it when it's on the network.

  Any update on this?  I am experiencing the same issue and Firewalla Gold is not seeing the VIP and unable to add Port Forwarding.

  check the virtual IP and see if they all map to the same MAC address. If they are, try to use a different MAC address.

  Unfortunately the load balancer doesn't have this option.  All vIP are assign to the same interface which will have the same MAC address.
