You can configure the DHCP server to assign static IP addresses to specific hosts.

Required configuration items

Additional configuration items

To map static IP addresses:

 

  1. Log into Digi Remote Manager, or log into the local Web UI as a user with full Admin access rights.
  2. Access the device configuration:

    1. Locate your device as described in Use Digi Remote Manager to view and manage your device.
    2. Click the Device ID.
    3. Click Settings.
    4. Click to expand Config.

    1. On the menu, click System. Under Configuration, click Device Configuration.

      The Configuration window is displayed.

  3. Click Network > Interfaces.
  4. Click to expand an existing LAN, or create a new LAN. See Configure a Local Area Network (LAN).
  5. Click to expand IPv4 > DHCP server > Advanced settings > Static leases.
  6. For Add Static lease, click .
  7. Type the MAC address of the device associated with this static lease.
  8. Type the IP address for the static lease.

    Note The IP address here should be outside of the DHCP server's configured lease range. See Configure a DHCP server for further information about the lease range.

  9. (Optional) For Hostname, type a label for the static lease. This does not have to be the device's actual hostname.
  10. Repeat for each additional DHCP static lease.
  11. Click Apply to save the configuration and apply the change.
  1. Select the device in Remote Manager and click Actions > Open Console, or log into the EX12 local command line as a user with full Admin access rights.

    Depending on your device configuration, you may be presented with an Access selection menu. Type admin to access the Admin CLI.

  2. At the command line, type config to enter configuration mode:

    > config
(config)>

  3. Add a static lease to the DHCP server configuration for an existing LAN. For example, to add static lease to a LAN named my_lan:
    (config)> add network interface my_lan ipv4 dhcp_server advanced static_lease end
(config network interface my_lan ipv4 dhcp_server advanced static_lease 0)>

    See Configure a Local Area Network (LAN) for information about creating a LAN.

  4. Set the MAC address of the device associated with this static lease, using the colon-separated format:
    (config network interface my_lan ipv4 dhcp_server advanced static_lease 0)> mac 00:40:D0:13:35:36
(config network interface my_lan ipv4 dhcp_server advanced static_lease 0)>
  5. Set the IP address for the static lease:
    (config network interface my_lan ipv4 dhcp_server advanced static_lease 0)> ip 10.01.01.10
(network interface my_lan ipv4 dhcp_server advanced static_lease 0)>

    Note The IP address here should be outside of the DHCP server's configured lease range. See Configure a DHCP server for further information about the lease range.

  6. (Optional) Set a label for this static lease:
    (config network interface my_lan ipv4 dhcp_server advanced static_lease 0)> name label
(config network interface my_lan ipv4 dhcp_server advanced static_lease 0)>
  7. Save the configuration and apply the change.
    (config network interface my_lan ipv4 dhcp_server advanced static_lease 0)> save
Configuration saved.
>
  8. Type exit to exit the Admin CLI.

    Depending on your device configuration, you may be presented with an Access selection menu. Type quit to disconnect from the device.
