I 'm working on learning alot about dhcp and dns on a new server I 'm
putting together. I 've got the forward and reverse working for my domain
for it. For the dhcp portion, I want about 10 machines to have static
addresses, but I don 't want them to be set statically in the tcp/ip
properties on the workstation. Like I mean I want my laptop to always
get 10.10.10.7, but say in 3 months I change my networking scheme to a
192.186 address, I can reassign a known ip to my laptop. SO, do I need
to know the mac address of the NIC for my laptop for my dhcpd.conf file,
or can I just put in the name of the machine I want it to be and have it
assign that way. Also will all the hosting information be sent to it
automatically?
Secondly, for my dhcpd.conf file, I have 2 nics in the server. Eth0
connects to the net and eth1 connects to the lan. I don 't want dhcp
running on eth0, and I 've tried specifying the device with empty
information in it, but dhcpd still complains when I start it. I can
however start dhcpd by running dhcpd eth1.
How can I get that fixed so when it boots up dhcp starts too.
Thanks.
