multiple mac addresses per ip address
I have a laptop which I either use with it's building 802.3 port, or with it's 802.11b port.
I have it configured to get it's IP address from a DHCP server running on RH9. The server gives it a different address depending on which port I use. Is there a way I can tell the DHCP server that the ports both belong to the same machine and they are mutually exclusive (ie, it will never see them at the same time). I tried to add this : host laptop.sub.top { hardware ethernet xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx; #en0 802.3 hardware ethernet yy:yy:yy:yy:yy:yy; #en1 802.11b fixed-address 192.168.0.250; } but it had no effect - I see in the man page, it references this but in relation to bootp, not dhcp. I would also like to be able to assign a name to the 802.11b WAP I have; it is just acting as a bridge at the moment, but it still has an IP address. How can I do that? Max. |
maybe it would be more 'correct' to assign a different host name to each of the interfaces on my laptop, then it wouldn't matter if it were given a different address.
I wonder how I can do this on Mac OS X.3.3? The problem is that I cannot send email to our smtp server because it cannot do a reverse lookup on my 802.11b interface. Max. |
