There are several ways for this to be done. In the following subnet
declaration hosts will be assigned IP addresses dynamically, but the the
"deny unknown-clients" directive indicates that a host declaration is
required (no address needed in the host declaration) in order for a host
to be given an address from this pool.
-----------------
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option routers 192.168.1.254;
range 192.168.1.10 192.168.1.100;
deny unknown-clients;
}
host thatcomputer {
hardware ethernet 08:00:2b:4c:59:23;
}
-----------------
In the next subnet declaration hosts will be assigned Ip addresses
statically, according to their host declaration, but none will be
assigned dynamically:
-----------------
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option routers 192.168.1.254;
}
host thatcomputer {
hardware ethernet 08:00:2b:4c:59:23;
fixed-address 192.168.1.10;
}
-----------------
Of course these options can be mixed also for other desired effects, and
there are even more options in addition. See man dhcpd.conf for more
examples.
