Most modern routers allow you to assign a fixed address to a mac address.
Of course. But if the MAC address keeps changing, what will the fixed
address be?
And, there is no router in these systems. Only a switch. an openSUSE
server provides DHCPD services.
I cannot understand the need for the system to creat a MAC address when
every device is asigned an address by the manufacturer. Having an
openSUSE server provide DHCP means you can configure it to supply a
fixed IP address to a fixed MAC address.
