I could be mistaken, but it doesn't appear Webmin supports this function either. It is possible to configure a "fixed-address" in dhcpd.conf, but that seems to be a lot of work, for something that should be simple to accomplish.
Not really. I have a small network here with fixed IPs via DHCP and I simply add an entry like the one below to /etc/dhcpd.conf for each of my PCs:
host hostname { hardware ethernet 00:11:22:33:44:55; fixed-address 192.168.0.99; }
That's exactly what I mentioned above. On the other hand, on a router at work, I can view a list of computers (MAC addresses) getting an IP address from the DHCP server and then select one and assign it a reserved address.
arp -a does this job. it lists currently active PCs with their MAC, IP and (if available) hostname.
You're missing the point. As it currently stands with Yast, I have to find the MAC for the computer by some means, then copy it into dhcpd.conf, along with that other info. On systems such as that router at work, I simply located the computer MAC address or currently assigned IP in a list, and configure it for a specific IP address and I'm done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
