I would like to use my hub on my LAN without the use of a DHCP server. I can’t find any topics on this, just lots of similar (but not correct) topics about using DHCP to assign a static IP address.
I am trying to assign static IP addresses WITHOUT the use of a DHCP server to do so. On most devices, I can just go into the settings (usually via a web interface, which I know is not available on the hub) and assign the IP address manually.
How can I achieve this on my hub if possible at all?
Set static IP on your router.
Find the hub on your router, copy its Mac address and set it to a static IP
But this requires DHCP & the OP wants to run without it.
A while back, I asked support about using a static IP on the hub and learned that feature is not available. Seems like an easy add, but no joy!
Pretty much impossible to not have DHCP, unless you only have 1 device on your network
Right! Or build & manage the entire network with static addressing, LOL!
I have several VLANs that have no DHCP service running. These are service LANs that never will get an unknown device. I have configured the 100 some devices manually, via whatever method.
This way a device can not plug-in and work. Keep those not in the know (or good packet sniffing hardware) from using or accessing the net.
In respect to this, Does the hub support 802.1x? Can I have the box authenticate with the Switch? I want to move to a authenticated network. Each device will use credentials or better yet a SSL style certificate.
I think your expectations are too high for a “consumer-grade” product. I’m not saying the level of security you desire isn’t unreasonable, nor perhaps good practices for home networks in this increasingly “hackable” world; it’s just that SmartThings has to place a certain weighting on simplicity of configuration over the requirements that you list.
If even 80% of SmartThings customers have “open-DHCP networking” … well; it’s more likely to be 98%, actually…, then I think it is reasonable for them to defer support for the 2%.
Yes, and it should support poe and ipv6 while we are asking.
Already asked for that in another thread.
