You need to configure your DHCP server to deny certain client MAC addresses receiving an IP address. Where do you configure this setting?

You configure the MAC address filtering (deny list) on the DHCP server’s configuration file or management interface, depending on the DHCP server software or device.The DHCP server controls which clients get IP addresses by their MAC addresses.To deny certain MAC addresses, you create a deny list or blacklist.This setting is usually found in the DHCP server’s access control or filtering section.For example, in ISC DHCP server (Linux), you add deny booting; or create a host entry that excludes certain MAC addresses.In routers or Windows DHCP servers, you typically enter these MAC addresses under “MAC filtering” or “client filtering” settings and mark them to be denied.This prevents those devices with specified MAC addresses from obtaining an IP lease from the DHCP server.
