How to assign IP address based on port of a switch (Instant ON)

  • 1.  How to assign IP address based on port of a switch (Instant ON)

    Posted Mar 09, 2021 02:36 PM
    I have been using Cisco gigE switches (C4849E) to assign IP addresses based on ports...

    Port 1 gets 178.16.0.101
    Port 2 gets 178.16.0.102
    ..
    Port 48 gets 178.16.0.148

    The idea is that each port becomes a DHCP server, and assigns a fixed static IP address to teh device on power up.

    But it is done in a very cryptic way. 
    ip dhcp pool static-port-pool
    address 172.16.0.101 client-id "Gi0/1" ascii
    interface GigabitEthernet0/1
    ip dhcp server use subscriber-id client-id
    spanning-tree portfast edge

    Does Aruba offer any straight forward way to implement this?  We have a huge need of this in the testing industry.

    Thanks to anybody who has done it, and would like to share his or her experience.
    regards

    If you can use an external DHCP server, you can probably do it with option 82.
