A binding is a collection of configuration parameters, including an IP address, associated with,
or bound to, a DHCP client. Bindings are managed by DHCP servers. DHCP bindings
automatically map a device MAC address to an IP address using a pool of DHCP supplied
addresses. Static bindings provide the assignment of IP addresses without creating numerous
host pools with manual bindings. Static host bindings use a text file the DHCP server reads. It
eliminates the need for a lengthy configuration file and reduces the space required to maintain
address pools.
