Hi,
Few months ago I did request an IP to be assigned to a device to monitor and control room temperature at one of our Server Rooms. I had to provide its mac address as well
This might sound like a stupid question: How do you statically assign it? The task was completed by one of our senior LAN engineers (busy guy…I wish he had the time to explain to me)
When i run the show ip 155.237.221.37 i get it connected to interface VLAN2. in order to find the physical interface i issued the show mac address-table address 155.237.221.37 command and from there, issued the show cdp neighbors to find out which switch it connects to (WS-C2960)
Output from our Router
ip dhcp pool MAPBIN
network 155.237.221.0 255.255.255.128
default-router 155.237.221.1
domain-name yyy.xxxl.com
dns-server 10.193.8.53 155.237.252.24
lease 0 8
interface Vlan2
ip address 155.237.221.1 255.255.255.128
no ip redirects
no ip unreachables
no ip proxy-arp
end
The actual settings for the Temperature monitor device are:
IP:155.237.221.37
Mask: 255.255.255.128
GW: 155.237.221.1
I could see the default router points to interface VLAN 2 IP address
My assumption is: all devices connected to ports that are member of VLAN 2 will get their IPs from MAPBIN pool
Bottom line is: how do i bond this IP to the given Mac address 00080.a3d0.c298?
