Restricting ip addresses to specific IP addresses
Posted by Erukan Imoh on December 8th, 2003


Hi, Am really struggling to keep rougue users from my LAN, one of the challenges is blocking users with unknown mac addresses from getting any IP address from my dhcp pool, is there any one out there who has been able to achieve this. Am running windows 2000 server.

Thanks, Phillip Erukan Imoh

What I found was to get a count of all the PCs you want to have access to
your network, create a DHCP scope with that number IPs and then make a
reservation for all of the PCs you want to have access. When your done
making the reservations there should be no IPs left for the server to give
out.

Or course this doesn't stop any rogue users from manually setting the IP
address but its a start...
