hi I think that there is a procedure , that you first reserve the mac address of that specific machine, in dhcp configuration then specify the required ip address to it. every time the dhcp starts it first check the mac address of that machine if it is found to be equal to that then it will assign the specific ip to it, otherwise that ip address will be unassinged. --- bye --- vivek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > hi > > i've setup a dhcp server at an org. in the > dhcpd.conf address i've given > hostname, mac address, and ip address combinations > for all the machines. > > thus every machine is taking the ip address as given > by me. > > i want to know whether it is possible that if i've > given a certain ip > address (say 192.168.0.10) to a machine, it will not > take any other ip > address within the range? i.e if ip addresses are > being assigned between > 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.25, & i've specified > 192.168.0.10 to a certain > machine (by its mac address), then that machine > cannot have (if manually > configured) any ip address between the range > 192.168.0.1 and > 192.168.0.25 except 192.168.0.10 > > one more thing, can iptables work with mac addresses > instead of ip > addresses? > > thanks > > vivek > > > ================================================ > To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with unsubscribe in subject header.
