 When doing DHCP ..... keep in mind you need to know what you're looking
at. MAC Address or Client Identifier??

To configure a manual binding, first create a host pool, then specify the
IP address of the client and hardware address or client identifier. The
hardware address is the MAC address. The client identifier, which is
required for Microsoft clients (instead of hardware addresses), is formed
by concatenating the media type and the MAC address of the client. Refer
to the "Address Resolution Protocol Parameters" section of RFC 1700,
Assigned Numbers, for a list of media type codes.

......for example, 01b7.0813.8811.66, where 01 represents the Ethernet
media type.
