Setting this up for the first time and I have a simple question but it isnt clearly answered anywhere. I want to assign ips with DHCP in a static manner can I just use the /etc/host file on the machine running dnsmasq to do this and uncomment this line <br>
# Enable the address given for "judge" in /etc/hosts<br># to be given to a machine presenting the name "judge" when<br># it asks for a DHCP lease.<br>#dhcp-host=judge<br><br>or is it better to use the MAC address lines presented like below?<br>
<br># Always allocate the host with ethernet address 11:22:33:44:55:66<br># The IP address <a href="http://192.168.0.60">192.168.0.60</a><br>#dhcp-host=00:11:22:33:44:55,<a href="http://192.168.0.60">192.168.0.60</a><br><br>
and will either of these work without uncommenting the range line below(It sounds like it wont work without this but i dont want any dynamically assigned IPS..)<br># Uncomment this to enable the integrated DHCP server, you need<br>
# to supply the range of addresses available for lease and optionally<br># a lease time. If you have more than one network, you will need to<br># repeat this for each network on which you want to supply DHCP<br># service.<br>
#dhcp-range=<a href="http://192.168.0.50">192.168.0.50</a>,<a href="http://192.168.0.150">192.168.0.150</a>,12h<br><br>thanks for your help in advance<br><br>H<br><br>
