Hi,
I've just received a replacement Hub 5 and it's working well.
I'd like to configure the Hub's DHCP server to associate some specific MAC addresses with particular IP addresses so I can set up naming for those in my local DNS.
In Advanced Settings / DHCP settings it looks like it should have the functionality I'm looking for but I'm having problems figuring out what I need to configure to get it working.
* The DHCPv4 server is enabled and working.
* The starting local address is set to 192.168.0.10.
(Looks like you can only change the last octet).
* The number of CPEs is set to 245.
(I assume that means it will give IPv4 addrs in the range 192.168.0.10 -> 192.168.0.255 (10 + 245. Not sure that giving out 192.168.0.255 is necessarily a good idea since that's the subnet broadcast address but hey-ho happy to give that a go.)
* The lease time is set to 86400 seconds.
(Whatever :-).
In the Add reserved rule section I add the MAC address that I want to give a reserved address to and below that the IP address that I'd like to reserve for that MAC address. Any IP address I try however always seem to give the response in red "192.168.0.XX is not a valid IP address" (where XX is the octet I enter).
I've tried addresses below 192.168.0.10, I've tried addresses that aren't already allocated between 192.168.0.10 and 192.168.0.255. I tried decreasing the number of CPEs so there were some addresses outside the DHCP range. None of those worked and they all give the same error.
I assume I'm either doing something silly that I've failed to spot obvious on or there's some sort of issue.
Can anybody help with this?
Cheers,
