Is it possible to create a static DHCP lease based on host name?

Fri Sep 18, 2020 7:07 pm

As the title says, is it possible to create a static DHCP lease on the local network based on host name rather than on MAC address?

Does anybody know if this is possible? The reason for needing this is that iOS 14 now randomizes the MAC addresses, but I would still like these devices to have fixed IP address on my own network without disabling the randomization.

Can't you disable randomization for particular SSID only? It is possible to do it on recent Android devices ...

Thanks for the hint. Although it is not clearly indicated, disabling the randomization works per-SSID.
