Reporting using Users binded to MAC addresses?

I'm using DHCP for IP assignment.

How to create my 15 internal network users and assign to them their devices MAC addresses (Laptop/Desktop/CellPhone Ethernet, WiFi)

User      MAC Addresses
------------------------------------
user1    MAC11, MAC12, MAC13,...
user2    MAC21, MAC22
....

Then use these users in reports instead of the dynamic IP?

Example: TOP10 Users by time

User    Duration   %
----------------------------------
user1  18:57:46  43.4 %
user2  03:43:20  8.5 %

You do this in 'Definitions & Users >> Network Definitions'. Add a definition of type "Host" and complete the 'DHCP' section.

But I have to provide a static IP address (while I'm using DHCP) else I got "Network address is missing."

Correct. Be sure to assign fixed addresses that are outside of the dynamic range assigned by the DHCP server.

But I don't want to assign fixed addresses to my local users! I'm using DHCP for them.
The fixed addresses are only assigned to internal Servers (AD, NAS,...) and are outside the DHCP range!

What is the problem that you are trying to solve ?

Since you have AD environment (I know from your another forum post..[;)], create DNS Reverse Lookup zone, and you will have host name instead IP address in your reports.

Thank you vilic!

Could you please provide more details how to configure UTM DNS and AD DNS?
