Same vlan or different vlan? You can specify multiple names per mac address to have different dhcp assignments, it’s been a while but at least at one point you could manually specify installnic rather than let the mac follow through.
I am curious about the usage scenario where you would not want to use the network interface that pxe booted for install, or not pxe boot from the install nic. I’m curious if confluent has the use case covered for anyone with similar requirements.

We can see that the mac table allows us to specify multiple MAC addresses that would be given the same IP, but we’re curious if we can set things up so the 2nd MAC gets a different IP address. Is that possible?
