Reserve IP Addresses for Predetermined DHCP Clients

A reserved IP address is excluded from the pool of free IP addresses the DHCP server draws on for dynamic IP address allocation.

For instance if you set up a publicly accessible FTP or HTTP server within your private LAN, while that server requires 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.

Step 1:

From the Advanced DHCP Server Options section click on the DHCP Server Reservations button.

Step 2:

Click on the Add button.
