Assigning IP Address to iPads in Jamf Now

We don't use DHCP, we manually assign each network connected device a static IP.  It is possible to do this for our iPads from within Jamf Now rather than on each individual iPad?

Further, so far, my research tells me that not even Jamf Pro or Apple Configurator will accomplish this. . . that the only way to accomplish this would be via MAC address on my DHCP server.

Not as far as I am aware, no. I dont even think Jamf Pro could do this. If possible, you would likely need an individual blueprint for every device with an IP address assigned this way.

 

Is there a reason you are not using DHCP? It's very much industry standard to let IPs happen automatically.

All device types are in IP groups. . . ex: Printers 01-20, Copiers, 21-30, Desktops, 31-50, blah, blah, blah.

We "had" enabled DHCP for the Wi-Fi/iPads.  But alas, they quickly tired of letting people go that repeatedly violated (and down-right abused) the company's Wi-Fi Policy.  And I have quickly tired of manually reentering the iPad IPs at every update and sync.

FYI, we are a healthcare entity, so. . . HIPAA.
