You can use functions like matchstring to apply different options to a
class of devices. One similar example I use is for my VoIP phones.
It matches on the vendor part of the MAC address to identify which
devices are phones.
## Setup Phone options
if binary-to-ascii(16,8,"-",substring(hardware,1,3)) = "8-0-f" {
option phone-tftp-server 10.49.2.21;
option phone-rtc-address 10.49.2.21;
option phone-dhcp-server "MITEL IP PHONE";
option phone-Vlan-ID 0x14;
option phone-qos-priority 0x6;
}
Your example however seems tied directly to a specific device instead
of a class of devices. This is much easier and more clean to specify
using a specific host stanza like this:
host pinky {
hardware ethernet b8:27:eb:4e:a9:9a;
fixed-address 10.49.220.45;
}
Just put one of these host stanzas inside your subnet stanza to assign
a specific IP (or any other DHCP options) to a specific device. You
can have as many of these as you want. I would suggest picking IP
addresses for these that are outside of the dynamic range, as well.
