DHCP and fixed IP addresses

[scarlett]

Hi there,
You need to edit your /etc/dhcpd.conf file to declare fixed ip's.
host myhost {
  hardware ethernet 00:00:00:00:00:00;
  fixed-address myhost.mydomain.com;
}
And make sure you assign them addresses that are not in the address pool
in your subnet range.
