Adding a reserve IP to a DHCP server
If you have configured an interface as a DHCP server, you can reserve an IP address
for a particular device on the network according to the MAC address of the device.
When you add the MAC address of a device and an IP address to the reserve IP list,
the DHCP server always assigns this IP address to the device.
To add a reserve IP you must first select the interface and scope to which you want to
add the reserve IP.
