vivek, what i have understood from ur quesitons is that, u want to configure the client IP address manually (which has been specified as 192.168.0.10 by dhcpd.conf on server). Yes u can manually configure the IP address of the client machine falling in the range of 192.168.0.1 -> 192.168.0.25. but the results of doing this is unspecified. it can affect ur network in any form.
yes iptables support mac address filtering also. it cn be specifed only with filter table for INPUT, OUTPUT or may b FORWARD CHAINS. u have to explicitly mention that option like for ex. iptables -t filter -A INPUT -m mac --mac-source 00:00:23:4g:00:3e -j DROP it can only match ur source MAC address. vineet On Mon, 2002-12-23 at 20:20, vivek wrote: > hi > > i've setup a dhcp server at an org. in the dhcpd.conf address i've given > hostname, mac address, and ip address combinations for all the machines. > > thus every machine is taking the ip address as given by me. > > i want to know whether it is possible that if i've given a certain ip > address (say 192.168.0.10) to a machine, it will not take any other ip > address within the range? i.e if ip addresses are being assigned between > 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.25, & i've specified 192.168.0.10 to a certain > machine (by its mac address), then that machine cannot have (if manually > configured) any ip address between the range 192.168.0.1 and > 192.168.0.25 except 192.168.0.10 > > one more thing, can iptables work with mac addresses instead of ip > addresses? > > thanks > > vivek > > ================================================ > To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe in subject >header.
