My network serves DHCP through a Windows 2022 server. I would like to log the MAC addresses of all devices that acquire an IP address through this DHCP server. I have installed the IPAM role in the server, but I don't understand how to activate the logging. The server is standalone; it does not use Active Directory and it's not connected to a domain.
What knobs are available for configuring the IP Addresses of VMs in vsphere, without NSX, as compared to with NSX? I see in my VSphere clusters that
- VMs have multiple IPs
- These presumeably are randomly assigned by a DHCP host somehow
Is there a way to influence or lock down a specific IP for a VM in vsphere, or should we use nSX for this kind of behaviour?
We have a /24 IP Address range for PCs containing 240 allocated addresses at the moment.
Our company is planing for expansion of another 50 PCs, our existing IP range is 192.168.8.0/24
Do we add on another /24 (192.168.7.0/24) on the router? or Do we subnet 192.168.8.0/23 (255.255.254.0) on the router instead?
I would like to know which is the best option for our network.
For those of you out there using Racktables, how do you handle DHCP scopes? I haven't been able to find a way to show the IP addresses as allocated.
