Hello all,
Quick question about DHCP reservations: I have laptops with both wired
and wireless NICs, is it okay to have the router assign the same IP to
both interface? I am assuming it will let me do that. I will not, and do
not ever, have both interfaces active at the same time. In order to make
this post at least somewhat relevant to Fedora I am currently running
three of them in my home office. I keep thinking that I am missing
something, possibly obvious, as to why I shouldn't do this.
I have my new Netgear R6200v2 working perfectly and I don't want to do
anything to piss it off.
What you are missing is how the lease is released. There is no, 'drop
this lease' operation that can occur, say, when your system goes into
suspend mode. Or you simply walk out of radio range.
You would have to set the lease time quite short and wait that time
before connecting the other interface. You would have to turn off one
interface, wait, then start the other.
Actually, with macPRIV we are moving in the other direction, to have
frequent, different IP addresses for clients as your IP address is
carried in all sorts of higher layers. And IPv6 further compounds this.
