Periodic assignment of unique IP address
LockedI have a few queries regarding the DHCP configuration
1) I am trying to set up my network, where on the same network segment I have two different sets of clients that are assigned IP addresses at different intervals. That is to say, the lease assigned to one set of clients is different to the lease assigned to the other set of clients. As far as I understand, I can do this by using DHCP user class mechanisms, whereby I deal with different sets of clients as
part of different classes (and then each class is assigned a different lease time). Is that right?2) Following up from the above, is there any way of assigning a random lease to a particular user class? Random in the sense that I would like to pass a range (upper and lower limits) of lease, and then let the DHCP Server assign a number in between randomly?
3) My main question: how do I configure a DHCP client that allows it to be assigned a unique IP address everytime it renews its lease? Is it possible to configure the DHCP Server such that it assigns a particular class of clients (or just particular clients; manually assigned) a unique (different to prior) IP address every time their lease is renewed? I am interested to know the answer to both questions, as in from the configuration of a dhcp client and a dhcp server.
Thanks
