Re: [Thinstation-developer] restrict TS to be used by only one MAC

[Francis S. <fra...@ap...>]

Hello,

It depend if you have thinstation with the same hardware, you can create 
configuration files "thinstation.conf-MACADRESS" for each thinstation.

If you have different hardware you can configure your dhcp server to 
have an entry for each thinstation.

host thinstation1 {
       hardware ethernet xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx;                    (hardware 
address of the thinstation)
       fixed-address "ip address thinstation1";
       filename "/thinstation/thinstation1.nbi.zpxe";
       next-server "ip tftp server"
}
host thinstation2 {
       hardware ethernet xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx;                     
(hardware address of the thinstation)
              fixed-address "ip address thinstation2";
       filename "/thinstation/thinstation2.nbi.zpxe";
       next-server "ip tftp server"
}
...

There is more... more way to configure a dhcp server (personally I used 
the classes).

You can do a mix of the two methods.

Best regards.
