Hello everyone,

I am trying to assign static IP addresses to a bunch of systems using a C2/C3 stack as the DHCP Server, and am wondering if I am understanding the documentation right, and it really is necessary to write 4 lines of configuration PER host entry?

For instance I have defined a dynamic pool for a wifi network, so the DHCP server will assign ip addresses on the 192.168.11.0/24 network.

But as an example I'd like to statically assign all the wireless access points on the network using DHCP, and it would seem I need the following:

set dhcp pool gfs-wifi
set dhcp pool gfs-wifi dns-server 192.168.15.254
set dhcp pool gfs-wifi default-router 192.168.11.254
set dhcp pool gfs-wifi network 192.168.11.0 255.255.255.0

set dhcp pool ap-gs10 hardware-address 0011.888b.ff40
set dhcp pool ap-gs10 host 192.168.11.1 255.255.255.0
set dhcp pool ap-gs10 network 192.168.11.0 255.255.255.0
set dhcp pool ap-gs10 dns-server 192.168.15.254

set dhcp pool ap-gs11 hardware-address 0011.888b.6680
set dhcp pool ap-gs11 host 192.168.11.2 255.255.255.0
set dhcp pool ap-gs11 network 192.168.11.0 255.255.255.0
set dhcp pool ap-gs11 dns-server 192.168.15.254

set dhcp pool ap-gs20 hardware-address 0011.888c.4780
set dhcp pool ap-gs20 host 192.168.11.3 255.255.255.0
set dhcp pool ap-gs20 network 192.168.11.0 255.255.255.0
set dhcp pool ap-gs20 dns-server 192.168.15.254

set dhcp pool ap-gs30 hardware-address 0011.888c.8c00
set dhcp pool ap-gs30 host 192.168.11.4 255.255.255.0
set dhcp pool ap-gs30 network 192.168.11.0 255.255.255.0
set dhcp pool ap-gs30 dns-server 192.168.15.254

set dhcp pool ap-gs40 hardware-address 0011.888b.4280
set dhcp pool ap-gs40 host 192.168.11.5 255.255.255.0
set dhcp pool ap-gs40 network 192.168.11.0 255.255.255.0
set dhcp pool ap-gs40 dns-server 192.168.15.254

set dhcp pool ap-gs50 hardware-address 0011.888b.d5c0
set dhcp pool ap-gs50 host 192.168.11.6 255.255.255.0
set dhcp pool ap-gs50 network 192.168.11.0 255.255.255.0
set dhcp pool ap-gs50 dns-server 192.168.15.254


So in effect I need to define a 1 host address pool for every static assignment I want to do, which besides being inconvenient may not even be possible to do for 40-50 hosts on a /24 network.

Have I misunderstood the documentation, or is this really the way it has to be done?
