I want to set it up so that only certain MAC addresses can get an IP.
I want to do this without assigning static-ip's to each of these machines (i.e. i really want a 'pool' of MAC addresses which can get an IP, this means that if someone wants to bring a laptop in they will have to 'register' their MAC address into our 'pool').
Is this possible?
Note 1: i realise that MAC addresses are no substitute for authentication and can be changed easily.. but this is really to just stop people walking in and plugging laptops into our network..
Note 2: i know that you can assign static IP's like:
host pcfin00{
hardware ethernet 00:02:b3:62:cf:ed;
fixed-address 10.20.1.1;
}
- this isn't really what i want - i want the MAC addresses to just grab any IP in the range - not a specific fixed one.
any help/advice would be most appreciated!
