I seem to recall being able to do that, with the DHCP server on my Fedora Core 4 installation (having two separate MAC matching clauses that applied the same IP). Other servers may try to prevent you doing that, as it can be problematic. The client behaviour could be a bit wierd, especially if the client doesn't completely bring down the interface that previously had the same IP. On some clients, plugging in a cable doesn't disable or override the wireless. You'd have to manually do so. And lease expiry time wasn't an issue, that would only apply if I was hoping for a dynamically supplied IP to be re-supplied. My configuration was fixed IPs doled out by the DHCP server. So if your MAC matched, you were assigned that IP, as long as something else didn't prevent it. -- tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.17.8-200.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Fri Jan 9 00:01:03 UTC 2015 i686 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
