Apr 22, 2009 However, right now the IP's are hard-coded in the WAP admin interfaces. Instead of that, I was thinking about making a DHCP reservation for each of the WAP's, and let the WAP's themselves get their IP assignments automatically from DHCP. But here's what I don't understand: what MAC address do I enter into DHCP? There are MAC addresses printed. A DHCP reservation is a permanent IP address assignment. It is a specific IP address within a DHCP scope that is permanently reserved for leased use to a specific DHCP client. Users can configure a DHCP reservation in their DHCP server when they need to reserve a permanent IP address assignment. DHCP Reservations is a very useful feature of DHCP Server 2016. In essence, when there is a need for a DHCP client to “permanently” share the same IP address without having the chance to be assigned to another client, then we register it with a DHCP Reservation.

I know what I'm trying to do is probably not recommended (and may not even be supported, I'm not sure), but I need to know if it can be done.
I am a student, working on a final project for a networking/systems class. I have to create a fictitious network, with servers and clients. No problem so far...
I am using WMWare workstation to create 2 server vms and 2 client vms. In order to create my network, I will be using cisco switches and routers. I am using win2k3 as my DHCP server. what I need is to create a DHCP reservation for my router interfaces, and I need to NOT have a MAC address associated with the reservation. The reason for this is that the equipment I get access to changes every time I use it (I don't always get the same physical router), so I will almost certainly not have the same router (and hence, MAC) 2 times in a row.
Is there any way for me to make a DHCP reservation so that my router interface has a reserved address without my needing to specify the MAC?
Thanks
