My recollection is that there is a way to configure the ISC DHCP server to only assign addresses to equipment with specific vendor tags, but I confess I haven't studied it recently.
Certainly the GUI firmware is an option.

Addresses are defined statically on the rest of the network, so if there's no way to tell the server to only respond to Sun Rays, I guess I will advise the client to install the GUI firmware and set them manually as well.

Thanks for the suggestions

How do you normally obtain DHCP addresses on that "shared network"?

If the answer (which is typical) is either that you already have a DHCP server, either directly on that network or available via DHCP Forwarding, then there's a much simpler solution. Run utadm -A, but say you don't want to assign IP addresses. The Sun Ray will obtain a DHCP address from your normal DHCP server, then it will request DHCP options (only), and the Sun Ray DHCP server will only respond to such requests from Sun Rays (due to the vendor class).

Run the DHCP server, but reserve every address assigned to it.

Hi guys,

One of my clients has a shared network but doesn't want a DHCP server running on it so I am trying to restrict DHCP offers to the Sun Ray vendor class.

Is this possible? What do I need to do?

Thanks,
