Draytek Vigor 2600VG - fix IP address?

Hi,

I want my unit to assign IP addresses using DHCP, but I want to be able
to fix the IP address assigned to each device.

Can it be done?

You cant have both DHCP and a fixed IP. Its one or other.

That isn't true. You can have DHCP assign fixed IP addresses based on the MAC
address of the NIC in the machine.

Whether or not that router can do it or not, I don't know.

I should have looked a bit harder really, I found out you can do it but
not from the web interface, you have to do it using telnet commands:

srv dhcp fixip add <ip address> <MAC> <hostname> does the job.
