If using ddns and dhcpd from ISC create a file like:
host tech-mcullum-46815-wired {
hardware ethernet 00:0d:93:ed:18:26;
ddns-hostname tech-mcullum-46815;
}
host tech-mcullum-46815-wireless {
hardware ethernet 00:0d:93:ed:18:26;
ddns-hostname tech-mcullum-46815;
}
without ddns your options are more limited. According to ISC you can
try something like this:
host tech-mcullum-46815-wired {
hardware ethernet 00:0d:93:ed:18:26;
option host-name tech-mcullum-46815;
}
host tech-mcullum-46815-wireless {
hardware ethernet 00:0d:93:ed:18:26;
option host-name tech-mcullum-46815;
}
but many dhcp clients ignore the option host-name clause. If this is
the case, the only solution I know of it ddns.
