Chapter 4 Common Configuration
4.1.2To reserve specific IP addresses for predetermined DHCP clients
Making an IP address reservation lets you inform the DHCP server to exclude that specific address from the pool of free IP addresses it draws on for dynamic IP 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 reserve a particular IP address.

The Hardware Address, in pairs of two hex values
