SXK80 - DHCP Question - Support for multiple DHCP assignments for the same device on different VLAN?
Hello, I have a question on the capabilities of the Orbi SXK80 product. I'm working on my network design, and I have a question that I am hoping someone can answer (I have read the manual on-lin...
Welcome to the community! :)
Be reminded that each time you set a new configuration in each VLAN, you need to click on Apply. Otherwise, the configuration is not saved.
My question is : can I have the same MAC address reserve static DHCP assignments on the different VLAN's? For example, my Macbook pro would normally connect to the family network (wired or wireless). When I want to manage a network device (Orbi or switch), I would connect my Macbook (or iPhone) to the wireless admin network, and then connect to the management IP I assigned to the Orbi router (or netgear switch, etc.). Since the device will be on different VLAN's this should be a viable configuration since each VLAN will have a DHCP service in different IP subnets.
About this scenario, the MacBook Pro will not receive the IP reservation in each different VLAN.

While it appears that you can make ra eservation range and assignments for each LAN (SSID), if you make one for the MBPro on LAN1, then another on LAN2, then another in LAN3, or only two of the above, only the last assignment will be valid and the MBPro will conncet to that reserved/assigned IP address regardless of which SSID/LAN the MBPro connects with.
It is interesting that with an IP reserved&assigned to LAN1(admin) (___.____.10.__) "APPLY", and then IP reserved&assigned to LAN3 (IoT) (___.___.30.__), "APPLY", that when MBPro is wirelessly connected to LAN1 it gets that reserve IP from LAN3 (___.___.30.__), but can see and connect to all LAN1 devices. But as stated above, MBPro will not receive the IP reservation in each different VLAN.

This reads like a major bug requiring a fix.
Dos this still apply to the v3.2.1.102 firmware (current as of writing)?
