1402629 2015-06-13 04:02:00 How do you set up a DHCP server to provide the same IP to a device each time the address is renewed . AppleFan (17097)
1402630 2015-06-13 04:34:00 I normally set the Device, what ever it is to a static IP, that way IT takes / reserves that IP address.

As the following article describes: www.ciscopress.com

1402632 2015-06-13 04:43:00 More questions on your server course eh. You set a reservation in your DHCP server. Which is not the same as setting the IP on the device. Pros and Cons to both. Alex B (15479)
1402633 2015-06-13 04:43:00 Hey wainuitech thanks for that , i do apologize because i wanted to do this for Server 2012 and so i forgot to write down Server 2012.

Do you any way if you can do this on Server 2012 .

1402634 2015-06-13 04:50:00 Google "How to set DHCP reservation Server 2012" I've said it to you before, but knowing how to find this information for yourself is extremely important in the real world. Alex B (15479)

@ Applefan -- People dont mind helping, :) but in the real world, there isn't anyone who doesn't have to look up something sometimes, No one knows everything. Its all part of the skill set. People who "think" they know everything are very easily tripped up ;)

1402636 2015-06-13 10:53:00 The DHCP server settings in 2012 haven't really changed a lot since even 2003 and possibly earlier.
So any guide you find for this on the net should still be relevant or will be a guide to find what you need yourself.

I like to set a DHCP reservation for certain devices, printers etc, as usually if the device for whatever reason losses all of its settings DHCP is the default so it should just carry on working.
If you set a static IP on a device and it loses its settings then it will have a different IP address when ot comes back online and most likely won't work.

1402637 2015-06-16 04:33:00 Also, setting manual IP addresses on devices rather than in the DHCP server can be a great way to end up with IP address conflicts and even more headache! Agent_24 (57)
