RE: [PLUG] How to let DHCP issue hostname that I wanted?
|
You can specify a host, it's MAC address, and the fixed address you want to
assign if using dhcpd. Look through the MAN pages for an example. We use
DHCP at work. I am able to assign "fixed" addresses to all the desktops and
particular laptops. Others get regular DHCP allocated addresses.
Now....if I can only figure out how to get dhcpd to automatically update my
DNS server, I'll be truly happy.

What are you using on the client-- pump or dhcpcd or what? Both of them
can take a "-h" option on the command line to specify the hostname.

Why would you use DHCP at all, if you want the same IPs every time?
