Description

Our new laptops come with a docking station so each laptop has three wired interfaces, and depending on how the laptop is connected, they all get a different ip, which makes finding the laptop a challenge, to say the least.

2: enp2s0f0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state DOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 54:05:db:a6:a6:5d brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: enp5s0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state DOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 54:05:db:a6:a6:5c brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
8: enx083a8856da26: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 08:3a:88:56:da:26 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 10.10.9.248/22 brd 10.10.11.255 scope global dynamic noprefixroute enx083a8856da26
       valid_lft 1419sec preferred_lft 1419sec
    inet6 fe80::8e53:acb2:e258:c081/64 scope link noprefixroute 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

For DHCP, it's peanuts to configure the same IP for multiple mac addresses. I can't think of situations where users will try to connect two cables to the same laptop. And even if they do, so what?

Would it be possible to configure this in the foreman?
