Hello,

I feel so a dumbass but here it goes:

I created a DNS-DHCP server (server is ip 10.10.1.x). I created a Subnet
pool WKS1010.
I created a Subnet 10.10.0.0. (mask 255.255.0.0) and I'm trying to do a
manual assignmant to a wks. I created the ipadres put it to manual inserted
the mac address. Filled in some options (ROUTER/DNS/WINS).

But the wks does not recieve this and i get this error on ther server
DHCP Warning Out of Addressed for Client macadress client. (and this is
identical to what i entered...)

What am I missing?

Urbain

Urbain,

Did you really create a subnet pool under the subnet-object?
Please try instead a Subnet address range.
Don´t forget to unload and reload dhcpsrvr.nlm after making any
changes.
1. Create dhcp-server-object
2. Create subnet-object
3. Create SAR
4. Create manual assignments
5. Set options
6. load dhcpsrvr.nlm

Hi Joerg,

Tanks for the tips but I figured it out. My objects are ok (it is working
now) but I filled in the MAC Address and the Client Identifier but
apparently for the Client Identifier you have to put 01 in front of the MAC
Address.

But now I have a second question. For my Subnet I specified a lease time of
3 days but a manual assignment does not take that into account. Apperently
you can only set it to permanent and to lease time fixed to a day. We would
like to work with a lease time of 3 days for our manual assignments, can
this be done?

Can you also explain the Mobile User option?

We have users with portables, all should receive a manual assigned ip
address but they can travel from one vlan to an other (read from one subnet
to an other) but they should always receive the correct ip address for that
range.

Actually it is best to leave that blank. DHCPSRVR will fill it in
automatically when appropriate and will usually put the 01 in front, but no
always.

Sorry, but why? The very nature of a manual assignment is that it should not
change.

They determine what should happen when 1) you have multiple subnets, and 2)
you have mobile users such as laptop users who move their machines from one
subnet to another.

Then set the Mobile User Options to the one that allows mobile users, and
does NOT delete the old addignmnet.

Thanks for the info. Your answers saved me some overtime ;-)
What happens with the manual assignment if you want to change the address.
As I understand only at boot time it will discover its new address?

Then you have to delete the old record and create a new one with the new
address, then unload/load DHCPSRVR.

No, if you've done the above, releasing and renewing the address on the
workstation would get the new one.

One more point for manual assignments and mobile users. If you have a
manual assignment for a notebook of a mobile user, you have to create
a manual assignment in each subnet for this notebook, if you are nor
running the latest dcpsrvr.nlm!

No, that would imply that I actually get paid. :-)

Thought I said that earlier, but it appears the transition from brain
to keyboard had a breakdown. Tnx for the catch! :)
