Port Forwarding Issues

Hello,

I just set up the Nest Wifi Router (connected directly to my modem) and everything set up properly. I replaced a PFSense firewall that had a lot of NAT/port forwarding rules set up.  I cannot get the Nest Wifi Router to let me set these up. 

When I go to Port Management, and click + to add a port to a device it does not show me all of my devices. I can connect directly to the device via the web, so it's on the network. I have tried to set a static IP on the device first. No go. I set up a DHCP reservation in Google Nest, still doesn't show. Lastly I removed the reservation and let it get a random IP, hoping it would show up in the list and it does not. I can connect to it via the web, on that DHCP IP. 

Any idea on how to get this to show me all the devices getting DHCP so I can set up port forwarding? 

Also, can I set up port forwarding to a dhcp reservation set up in Google Nest router? Doesn't seem to be a way that I am seeing.
