IP Address
Source

This features allows the user to select how
an IP address is assigned to a client
computer or network device. Select DHCP
(Dynamic Host Confi guration Protocol) to
allow a client (computer or device) to obtain
an IP address from a DHCP server that
manages a pool of IP addresses and network
information on a "request and grant" basis.
Upon timeout (or lease expiration), the IP
address assigned to the client can be
reassigned to a new client. Select Static
(Static Allocation) to allow the host server to
allocate an IP address based on a table
containing MAC Address/IP Address pairs
that are manually entered (such as by a
network administrator). Only clients with a
MAC address listed in the MAC/IP Address
Table will be assigned an IP address. The IP
Address allocated to the client is on a longer
term basis than that assigned by the DHCP
mentioned in the other option.
