DHCP Manual Bindings

[0r-lau]

Has anyone tried to configure manual bindings on th DHCP server on their Router? I tried but is still given the dynamic address. Anyone has any clue on how to make it work?

Thanks.

Note that each manual binding requires it's own pool.

Hi Zach,

I've tried it but still couldn't to get it to work.

here's my config.

ip dhcp pool Ron

host 192.168.0.10 255.255.255.0

hardware-address 0100.000e.210c.42

client-name ron

netbios-name-server 192.168.0.251

default-router 192.168.0.1

dns-server 165.21.83.88

Can you see anything I've missed out?

Thanks.

Ron,

What type of client (OS) is requesting the address?

Looks like you're missing the 'network' command. Try this:

ip dhcp pool POOLa

network 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0

netbios-name-server 192.168.0.251

default-router 192.168.0.1

dns-server 165.21.83.88

netbios-node-type p-node

ip dhcp pool Ron

host 192.168.0.10 255.255.255.0

client-name ron

client-identifier 0100.000e.210c.42

... and you need to change 'hardware-address" to "client-identifier" if this is a Microsoft client.

That did the trick! Thanks.

Does that mean I can only use "client-identifier" for Microsoft clients only and "hardware-address" for other clients?

Hi,

I do have the "network" command, but just didn't post it.

But have managed to get it up and running. Thanks for the help.
