RE: DHCP - assigning address by MAC

Sounds more like you need a PROXY server with a userid/pw challenge
instead of using the MAC addresses as a filter.  Your lpar runs with one
IP address/DNS-name/aliases, your users access the lpar by a call to a
Proxy address. The challenge is made, those who pass are get the
pass-thru to the lpar, the rejected caller's request is returned with
the appropriate denial of service.

Subject: DHCP - assigning address by MAC 

Is it possible to assign addresses by MAC address?

Have a situation  where we want to restrict  web access  from certain 
users. 

Firewall requires configuration by IP address. 

If I manually configure PC's address there is nothing to prevent user 
from changing to DHCP and getting  an address that access is permitted.

Whips and chains are not allowed.

Do not want to turn off DHCP if it can be helped.

At 5.2 if it matters.
