DHCP SERVER RESERVATIONS

The DHCP Server can be configured to reserve specific IP address for specific MAC address or Host name.

IP Address

This field should be filled with the preferred IP address to be assigned to a designated computer.

Host Name

This field should be filled with the host name of the designated computer.

Hardware Address

This field should be filled with the MAC address of the designated computer. For Windows 95/98/ME users, if you are not sure of the MAC of your network adapter, you may run WINIPCFG and select the network adapter from the drop down menu. The MAC address is specified in this window.

Press the Add button to create this entry. After you have added all the entries, press the Apply button to make the changes effective.


Either Host Name or Hardware Address needs to be filled. If both are present, the DHCP server checks the Hardware Address first, the Host Name is ignored if there is a match in Hardware Address.
