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,
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.
