To reserve specific IP addresses for predetermined DHCP clients
The ability to make IP reservations enables you to assign a fixed IP
address to a predetermined client (identified by its MAC address), thus
informing the DHCP server to exclude that specific address from the
pool of free IP addresses it draws on for its dynamic address allocation.
For instance, if you set up a publicly accessible FTP/HTTP server within
your private LAN, while that server would require a fixed IP address, you
would still want the DHCP server to dynamically allocate IP addresses to
the rest of the PCs on the LAN.
The following shows you how to modify the settings of the built-in DHCP
server.
