It's neither lengthy or hard. &nbsp;Whether you have identifying information for each MAC or not, a simple 10 second script will create the data that you need.

Dear Experts<br />
<br />
We have around 200 users note books/desktops who are too be allowed to get ip address assigned from the dhcp server and we want to allow these ip address to pass though the gateway for the internet, I m aware of config on fixed IP like the following <br />
host node {<br />
hardware etherne 08:00:07:26:c0:a5:<br />
fixed address desk.domain.com;<br />
}<br />
Please help in such declaration for 200 systems in one go as I have mac address listed for 200 and adding above for 200 systems would be too lengthy, is there any other possible declaration of best practice. please suggest<br />

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.

Linux Networking

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an auto configuration protocol used on IP networks and an extension of the Bootstrap Protocol. DHCP allows for computers to be configured automatically to communicate with each other over an IP network without the need for manual setup by a network administrator. The implementation of DHCP relies on a DHCP server to hand out network configuration information to DHCP-capable clients that request an IP address (and other information required or useful in communicating with other devices on an IP network). In addition to an IP address, common configuration information served over DHCP includes a default gateway, subnet mask and DNS sever(s).

DHCP

Network Management involves issues that are independent of specific hardware or software, including email policies, upgrade planning, backup scheduling and working with managed service providers for Desktop-As-A-Service (DaaS), Software-As-A-Service (SaaS) and the like through the use of tools, coupled with manufacturer standards, best practice guidelines, policies and procedures plus all other relevant documentation. Network management also includes monitoring, alerting and reporting, management reporting, planning for device or service updates, the backup of configurations, the setting of key performance indicators and measures (KPIs/KPMs), associated service level agreements and problem records as part of the IT Service Management (ITSM) framework.
