DHCP static IP to Network Printer

[Anand Narayana]

Actually my requirement is,i wanted each & every pc & network printers to obtain the IP address from the DHCP server, so when it comes to network printer, the IP address should be static, so i wanted to specify in such a way that one particualr IP should be assigned only for a particular mac-address. so is that possible? also is there any possibility to set a host name also to the pc via dhcp?

Hi

AFAIK u can make use of hardware address option to reserve ip address to the printer based on the mac address of the printer..

hope this link helps u out ..

hi prem,

i tried the configuration, but i didn't work out, i mean it is not taking any IP address on my windows 2000 professional. so how do i proceed now? the client hardware address i specified is the mac-address of the windows 2000 pc.

Hello,

I think Martin´s original post was right, but you need to add the client-identifier option as well, as described below. Also, I am not sure if the IEEE option is correct, you might want to try the default, which is Ethernet. So, putting this together, try the config below:

ip dhcp pool Mars

host 172.16.2.254 mask 255.255.255.0

hardware-address 02c7.f800.0422

client-name Mars

--> client-identifier 0102.c7f8.0004.22

default-router 172.16.2.100 172.16.2.101

domain-name cisco.com

dns-server 172.16.1.102 172.16.2.102

netbios-name-server 172.16.1.103 172.16.2.103

netbios-node-type h-node
