Assigning hostnames with DHCP

tmcallaghan
I'm setting up DHCP on my ASG120.  For my servers I want to assign IP addresses in Network Services -> DHCP -> Static MAC/IP Mappings.  It only allows me to assign the IP, not provide the hostname.

Is this functionality possible on the device or do I need to continue using my existing DHCP server on one of my Linux boxes?

    If I put the static mapping in Astaro DHCP and a static DNS entry in Astaro will my machines end up with the correct hostname?

    The answer to that is probably, "Yes, inside your network."  I don't think I understand your concern though.  What problem have you experienced in the past that you're concerned about?

    Cheers - Bob

    On my Linux servers (CentOS) I normally setup the networking such that the server use DHCP to acquire its IP address and hostname.  I'm currently running a DHCP server on a CentOS box which has a defined IP address.  All other machines get their IP and hostname from this server.

    So, my concern is that I want to make sure that whatever I run for a DHCP server provide both IP and hostname, not just IP.
