No, you cannot use the PIX to assign IP addresses based on MAC.<br />
The dhcp server is very basic.<br />
If you have a Windows server, it has all those features in its full-blown DHCP server feature.

Can the cisco pix 506e be configured to assign static ip addresses to computers on the inside interface? Ex. Take the MAC address of one computer, and assigning the computer its own ip address?<br />
<br />
If I can, what commands would be used?

Cisco Pix 506e question.

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

Hardware Firewalls

Cisco PIX is a dedicated hardware firewall appliance; the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) is a firewall and anti-malware security appliance that provides unified threat management and protection the PIX does not. Other Cisco devices and systems include routers, switches, storage networking, wireless and the software and hardware for PIX Firewall Manager (PFM), PIX Device Manager (PDM) and Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM).
