Solution 2: Create ASA DHCP Reservation
In Cisco ASA Series version 9.13(1), we can now add a static DHCP reservation (MAC address to IP address).
DHCP reservation: The ASA DHCP server now supports DHCP reservation. You can assign a static IP address from the defined address pool to a DHCP client based on the client’s MAC address. New/Modified commands:
dhcpd reserve-address
Step 1: Setup DHCP.
!
dhcpd address 10.254.254.10-10.254.254.75 inside
dhcpd enable inside
!
Step 2: Specify the MAC address as xxxx.xxxx.xxxx to add reservation. If in doubt, ping the existing IP address then execute a show arp command to show all the MAC addresses the firewall can see, then you can copy and paste it into the following command: dhcpd reserve-address 10.254.254.50 38f9.d326.66cc inside
