Here's another quibble I have with my present setup (scenario #1 here): DHCP address reservation doesn't seem to be working! All clients connected to the EX6200 acquire new quasi-random IPs despite the fact that the router (R7000) was instructed to reserve IPs based on clients' MACs. What am I doing wrong? Anybody else noticed that? Is this supposed to be a feature? Because of this, I frequently get IP conflicts on the network...
 
I think I finally figured out what happens: the EX6200 extender assigns "virtual MAC addresses" to its clients, and those are the MACs that the router (R7000) sees. Interesting, and, at the same time, annoying. Does anyone know how to stop this "virtual MAC address" phenomenon from happening?

Just assign static IP's for the clients attached to the repeater perhaps?
