  • 1.  dhcp_response hot to choose MAC for DHCPDISCOVER

    Posted Jun 16, 2020 08:29 AM
    Hello,

    we use the UIM dhcp_response probe on a windows system where we have two NICs.
    Now the probe uses the MAC address of the wrong NIC and so get's no DHCPOFFER from the DHCP server.
    Is there a possibility to tell the probe which MAC (or NIC) to use in it's DHCPDISCOVERy?

    Kind Regards
    Wolfgang Müller

    It will use whichever IP address the robot is using to communicate with the hub.
    Currently, it can not use a different one.
    To have that added would be an Enhancement request.
