Appendix E: Additional BCM2 Information
Reserving IP in Windows
To reserve the IP address of any network interface in the Windows DHCP
server, you must convert that interface's client identifier into
hexadecimal
ASCII codes.
For each interface's client identifier, see
Reserving IP Addresses in
DHCP Servers
(on page 572).
In the following illustration, it is assumed that the BCM2 serial number is
PEG1A00003.

1. Convert the client identifier of the desired network interface into
ASCII codes (
hexadecimal
).

2. In your DHCP server, bring up the New Reservation dialog, and
separate the converted ASCII codes with spaces.
For example, to reserve the IP address of the ETHERNET or ETH1
interface, enter the following data in the dialog.
IP address The IP address you want to reserve.
MAC address The following ASCII codes.
50 45 47 31 41 30 30 30 30 33
Other fields Configure as needed.
