Can DHCP assign to specific MAC always the same ip address and how

[vgeorgie]

For example:
I need for the PC with MAC address 00:14:42:A5:AA4 always name PC111 and IP address 10.2.34.33. I'm trying to set DHCP with manual assignment but it gives me always dynamic address. Can anybody help, please?

You can create a static assignment using the DHCP/DNS console. You have to just specify the IP address and the MAC address of the PC, release and renew on the workstation, and the IP address you have specified should be assigned to the workstation.

I tried this many times, but it doesn't work. Thank you anyway.

Are you following the correct procedure (as detailed in the TID below)?

Yes I follow the correct procedure. Could it be a problem that the PC is part of NT domain?

Be sure the client on the computer is set to dhcp to obtain its IP and also that you have unloaded dhcpsrvr and reloaded it on the server. Then restart the pc.

I found very strange solution, but it works. I saw that for the dynamic adresses DHCP gives automatically client identifier like: 01:<MAC address>. So I did the same with manual assigned adresses (before I left blank client identifier field). Can anybody explain this?
