Hello,I am not sure what you mean by "aliases" in this context. If you are thinking about hostnames then this is possible. In dhcpd.conf you do this:
I fear I have a lack of understanding the princip... With the help of this list I was able to setup ltps THANKS! The IP Addresses are now assigned out of a range of IP Addresses... I like to use aliases for my daily work. a) Is it possible to assing a constant alias to a certain workplaces?
host ws001 {
hardware ethernet 90:12:02:51:58:43;
fixed-address 192.168.1.2;
<other statements>;
}Use the MAC address for the network card in ws001 instead of the one shown here.
Restart your dhcp service.
b) In case the IP addresses are assinged out of a range and the workstations are named ws001 to ws0xx how can I address a certain computer? How do I know who is who?
You need either DNS (complicated) or an entry in the ltsp server's /etc/hosts file (simple).
In /etc/hosts the entry would look like this:
192.168.1.2 ws001
You should now be able to ping ws001 by hostname. Once the above is working, the computer with the MAC address listed in dhcpd.conf will always receive 192.168.1.2 as IP address, and there is a link between ws001 and 192.168.2.
