It can handle them. If you want dynamic range only, shouldn't matter, just set it and go
If you want fixed address and you don't care about pxe, then I'd use the 8 bye port guid rather than the 20 byte address. E.g. 00:11:75:01:01:0d:cd:c7 (technically that's an omnipath but it's the same as far as dhcp is concerned). Pxe actually lies and converts to a 48 bit mac. If that matters I'll write more info on that. Of course, I would tend toward static addressing without dhcp even for the primary nic nowadays. ________________________________ From: David Johnson <david_john...@brown.edu> Sent: Tuesday, March 16, 2021 7:24 PM To: xCAT Users Mailing list <xcat-user@lists.sourceforge.net> Subject: [External] [xcat-user] Can xCAT DHCP server offer addresses on IPoIB? I've got an entry in my networks table for a special-use subnet 192.168.180.0/22 on IPoIB. I'd like to give a dynamic range 192.168.180.100 to 192.168.183.199 on this 22 bit supernet. Most hosts on the network will not be active on this partition, as long as each host that brings up the interface gets a unique address at the time, I'd be happy. Can the stock DHCP server handle 20 byte mac addresses?
