Mini Guide: DHCP Reservations

DHCP Reservations

Note: This note was originally in the Network Booting a Raspberry Pi 3 from an Ubuntu Server post.

To make life easier DHCP Address reservations can be added in the main body of the DHCP config so that each MAC Address gets assigned the same IP:

{

  ...

  host pi3-1 {
    hardware ethernet b8:27:eb:41:8e:fa;
    fixed-address 192.168.1.59;
  }

  host pi3-2 {
    hardware ethernet b8:27:eb:1b:3c:41;
    fixed-address 192.168.1.58;
  }
