How to reserve an ip address using a devices mac address
How do I to reserve an ip address using a devices mac address on the M4250?
Hi DaneA ,
Of course it is possible to configure a DHCP server on a managed switch like M4250 with reserved MAC addresses and static IP addresses. It's called static pool and all M4250/M4300/M4500 will do it. Please come to me offline.
Hi arlon666 ,
Welcome, and no worries - the ProAVDesign@netgear.com team can help you configure additional settings on your DHCP server for this NDI profile VLAN. We are going to use the IT GUI, go to the DHCP server and add static pools to it so that your cameras always get same IP address based on their MAC. Kindly come to us at ProAVDesign@netgear.com

Thank you I sent an email to you
Hi,
Is there anymore information on how to do this.
I have a M4250-10G2XF-POE and I use this device as a DHCP server for NDI and Dante Devices connected to it. I don't like to set static addresses in the devices because I sometimes use the devices with other switches and routers and it is complicated to reset the IP addresses to match other DHCP servers and subnets.
Is there a way for the m4250 to set a static ip address for my dante and NDI devices so I will always no the IP addresses of the devices to get to their own web UI.
I used to have a router in line before which issued the DHCP and subnet but I now use the netgear to do DHCP.
Many thanks
Frank
Yes there is a way to do this. What it boils down to is to create a seperate DHCP pool for each device you want to have a DHCP reservation for and then set the "Type of Binding" field to "Manual". I'll attach a screenshot of one of mine, I will also attach a copy of a document that I got from Netgear on the subject which gives you the CLI commands which is handy if you have a lot of devices to do. I hope this sorts you, and anyone else who is looking for this information, out. Cheers.
