Hi,
I was wondering if anybody has found a way to solve an issue I am having. I am trying to reserve IP addresses for multiple devices that have both ethernet and wifi connections. I want to reserve 2 IP addresses for each device. Is the IP reserved besed on the MAC address or the host name?
Thanks.

Thanks for the information. The router picked up the host name from the device. I went ahead and changed the name and everything is working great now. Thanks for the help.

MAC address. And each interface should have a unique MAC address, so
the wired and wireless interfaces on a device should have different MAC
addresses, allowing you to associate different IP addresses with the two
interfaces. For example, I have a Foscam camera with these two address
reservations:
4 10.0.0.112 cam0 C4:D6:55:34:77:6E [wired]
5 10.0.0.113 cam1 E8:AB:FA:11:2C:DE [wireless]
Define "host name". A device can have a name, but that may have
little to do with networking. In IP, a network interface has an address
(and may have a name). If a device has only one network interface, then
you can easily associate a network interface name with a host name. If
a device has multiple network interfaces, then this simple relationship
breaks down. For networking purposes, the network interface is the
fundamental object (with its own address and name), not the device.
