Re: DHCP - assigning address by MAC

[Larry Bolhuis <lbolhuis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

In iSeries Navigator, open the DHCP configuration under Network -> 
Servers -> TCP/IP in the left pane and then right click on DHCP and 
Configure in the right pane.

Now right click on the Subnet and select New Client. In there specify 
the MAC address and then anything else you want to assign them. Some 
things are more important than others such as IP and Mask but hey, go crazy!

Valid questions posted on this solution vs Proxy, etc but to answer your 
question directly, yes this is how it's done on iSeries.
