Question: The DHCP server built into this switch tends not to give me the same IP. I will go from .101 to .102 to .103 and so on. This is a serious problem as I am trying to forward ports to what becomes a moving target address. Is there any way to configure it to give me a static DHCP address? Has anybody experimented with replacing the dhcp server with another one, say ISC’s dhcpd?
