Thank you to all that have helped me learn a bit as I go.
My question now is: I'd like to configure the internal network to ONLY
assign IP addresses to certain machines. I don't seem to have it correctly
configured. Could someone point me to something to read / learn about
this?
I've checked the FAQ, read the User Guide and the Installation Guide, and
Googled, but don't seem to find what I'm after.
I've got DHCP running, and assigning IPs quite nicely.
Unfortunately, it's also assigning IPs to what I think are "other" hosts.
I thought that, by only assigning particular IPs to particular MACs, the
others would not receive addresses.
That leaves me with some options:
- restrict the netmask to only those few addresses
- somehow change the subnet mask.
- something else that restricts which IPs get assigned to which MACs
What haven't I learned yet?
My dhcp.config is like this:
dynamic-bootp-lease-length 604800;
max-lease-time 1209600;
host FirstHost {
hardware ethernet 00:00:00:00:00:00; # where the MAC addr is
fixed-address 192.168.1.1;
}
host SecondHost {
hardware ethernet 00:00:00:00:00:00;
fixed-address 192.168.1.2;
}
host ThirdHost {
hardware ethernet 00:00:00:00:00:00;
fixed-address 192.168.1.3;
}
#host ExcludeHost {
# hardware ethernet 00:00:00:00:00:00;
# fixed-address 192.168.1.4;
#}
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option routers 192.168.1.254;
option domain-name "name";
option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.254;
range 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.3;
}
