Description
This articles describes how to use DHCP MAC address reserve and IP based policy.

Solution
In this scenario, MAC address reservation, MAC address policy and IP based policy will be used.

For example, with a user name ABC and XYZ.
For ABC user, use MAC address based policy and for XYZ IP based policy.


In this scenario, It is suggested to use MAC address on top and rest with subnet.

Further in policy from 6.2.1 and above there is no need for IP address in mac address policy.
Hence make sure to keep the MAC address policy on top than the IPV4 policy.
So the policy gets preferred for MAC address than IPV4 policy.





Once the MAC address policy is given, make sure to have a policy for IPaddressed based user XYZ.

For any further queries, raise a new TAC case for further assistance.
