RE: dhcp / mac address

If the hosts are already deployed, why not write a script to
automagically collect the ethernet addresses for you?  Actually, you can
probably find one on the Internet that will work with a little
site-specific tweaking.

It would be nice in theory to restrict mac addresses to the ones in your
network - if you have more than 20-30 hosts, the administration efforts
will be herculean. For this reason most people let anyone get an IP
address.

Do most of you restrict your DHCP server to only MAC
addresses that are on your LAN PCs, or is it any one
who connects to your network?
