Good idea. Reading the documentation[1] ### setip Sets new client address - if authorized. A console is authorized to use the SetIP command only if it has a Console resource definition in both the Director and the Console. In addition, if the console name, provided on the Name = directive, must be the same as a Client name, the user of that console is permitted to use the SetIP command to change the Address directive in the Director's client resource to the IP address of the Console. This permits portables or other machines using DHCP (non-fixed IP addresses) to "notify" the Director of their current IP address. ### Hmmm, that second sentence needs to be improved. It seems to say: if you use bconsole from a Client, you can use setip to change the IP address of *that* client. Is that your interpretation of that command? I would try it, but I am not near my laptop right now.
