I assign fixed Ip addresses through dhcp. Here is an example from
one of my subnet config files:
host some-printer
{
hardware ethernet xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx;
fixed-address xx.xx.x.x;
option log-servers xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx;
}
We do this for our printers and any other device I want to get the
same ip over and over again. Will this not work?
