Hello All...
I wonder if anyone know how to force a CPE to get an IP from a pool based on CM MAC Filtering, not using a specific Ethernet CPE MAC... In other words, I need that CPEs behind determinated cable modems get an IP from a pool destinated for that cable modems CPEs.
Some idea?
Meaning you want cpe's behind say, different brands of modems to get a different group of IP's? Or a group of CPE's behind a specific list of modems to get a different group of IP's?
Sorry for my english!
Let me try to explain. I need to allocate an IP pool for CPE's that will be connected to the CM's of a specific class. For example: I have a CM enabled with 10Mbps (class 10m), I need that any CPE connected to that Modem get an IP from a specific subnet pool like 190.168.1.1 - 190.168.1.30 and not from any of the others subnets in the dhcp server, because I have several subnets in the network-sharing configuration. Do you understand?
I know that I can create a specific hosts group, but I dont want to set the CPE's MAC in the dhcpd config file because the customers uses several computers many times.
So, if I can allocate an IP to a CPE from an specific pool based on the CM MAC, it will be my solution for my problem.
Thank you very much.
In case anyone need to do this same thing, I found the solution in this link
