RE: DHCP Manual Binding

Hi Scott,

That would sure seem to be a lot easier. The only problem is that in my experience it just doesn't seem to work like that :(

I have never been able to get a router to assign a specific ip address to another router via DHCP using the 'hardware-address' command. I've always had to resort to the strange client-id's described in the previous posts.
If you have working configurations using the 'hardware-address' command I would be very interested, as it would definitely make life a lot easier when doing this kind of thing.

Thanks,

Tom Lijnse

It would seem to be a whole lot easier to use the 'hardware-address' command
and just put the MAC! :)

You can also use 'client-name' to indicate the name of the PC/Host machine
for further marking (if supported on the device).

Hi William,

The default client-identifier that a cisco router uses is
"cisco-MAC-ADDRESS-INTF", where "MAC-ADDRESS" is the interface mac-address
and "INTF" is the interface descriptor.

For instance, if you take the client-identifier that you are using and
convert it to ascii (leaving off the leading two zeroes) you get
"cisco-0000.0c8e.ded4-Et0".

For more details look at:

Hi,

    Thanks, it works if I use the client-identifier. However, really don't
understand how cisco comes to the client identifier.

ip dhcp pool R3
   host 192.168.0.30 255.255.255.0
   client-identifier
0063.6973.636f.2d30.3030.302e.3063.3865.2e64.6564.342d.4574.30
   bootfile R3.txt
   option 150 ip 192.168.0.3
!

Best Regards,
William Chen
