| 9253.1 | why do you want to "register" the clients? | NETRIX::"[email protected]" | Farrell Woods | Mon Mar 24 1997 09:39 | 13 |
| You can arrange for DHCP to serve only specific hardware addresses through
the xjoin GUI. But you will have to enter each of those hardware addresses
by hand.
Is this what you want? Normally, a DHCP server owns a range of IP addresses.
It will hand these out to any client that asks for one. In other words,
part of the idea is that one does not have to register each machine that
will use the service.

| 9253.2 | Specific IP for each client. | VAXRIO::63222::Manoel | | Mon Mar 24 1997 12:41 | 11 |

Hi, Farrel
In fact this customer wants that each client receives a specific
Ip address, so there is no config file that one can edit with these
address correlations, and make the DHCP server knows about it ?
Thanks for your attention.

| 9253.3 | There is an import button... | NETRIX::"[email protected]" | Farrell Woods | Mon Mar 24 1997 15:12 | 31 |
| You can create a text file with the hardware addresses, IP addresses, etc.
of the clients you want to register. Use the "import" button in the GUI
to import the text into the database. Choose the "Server/Security" tab,
then "active IP snapshot". An import button will appear in the lower-right
corner.
The format of the import file is described in jdbreg(8), but basically
it goes like this:
hw addr|hw addr type|hw addr len|IP addr|||||||
So if you have an Ethernet or FDDI adaptor with a hardware address of
08:00:2b:32:ed:fd and its IP address is 16.140.32.161 then the a line
in the import file for that would look like:
08:00:2b:32:ed:fd|1|6|16.140.32.161|||||||
You could almost certainly write a script to gather the information
you need for the 800 machines. The script could write an output file
where each of those clients would be represented by one line as in my
example above.
Note that you would have to turn on the "Restrict to known MAC addr"
button in the server/security menu. This would also have the effect
of causing joind to serve address ONLY to registered clients.
