ISTR a time long ago > when it didn't. Normally DHCP does not lock a given IP address to a given MAC address. However, you can do so on a per machine basis with the fixed-address option. E.g: host hawk # new (2016) desktop { option host-name "hawk"; hardware ethernet 30:5a:3a:81:83:79; fixed-address 192.168.100.6; option domain-name-servers 192.168.100.30, 127.0.0.1; # chaffee, localhost ddns-hostname hawk; } -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
