hi everyone,
My name is Fahim & I working as I.T Admin at reputed organisation. I have come across a very complicated but an interesting issue. The scenario is as follows:-
We have a setup where in IP address is allocated through QUIP DHCP server, as we all are aware DHCP allocates a dynamic IP address to every user. One of the users own a laptop which he uses to connect to the network & has a dynamic IP address assigned to him, when he goes back home he has Cable connection which has static IP. The problem we are facing is when he is in the office he has a dynamic IP but when he goes back home to connect with his cable, he has to change the IP address to the one provided by the cable ISP provider, same has been going on for a while..
My question is quite simple is it possible to have 2 seperate IP addresses, which can automatically switch as per his location i.e. when he is the office it picks up the dynamic IP & when he goes back home the IP should change to the static one. Few things which I have tried is creating 2 hardware profiles where I have configured 2 seperate IP addresses onto the 2 profiles…
I know this sound a bit complicated or might its a piece of cake for many wizz.. out there … Hope i can get a quick & positive response u can write to me at fahimsolkar@lucent.com
Thanks & Regards,
