Adding a reserve IP to a DHCP server
If you have configured an interface as a DHCP server, you can reserve an IP address for a particular device on the network according to the MAC address of the device. When you add the MAC address of a device and an IP address to the reserve IP list, the DHCP server always assigns this IP address to the device.
To add a reserve IP you must first select the interface and scope to which you want to add the reserve IP.
To add a reserve IP to a DHCP server
1Go to System > Network > DHCP.

You must configure the interface as a DHCP server before you can select it.
4Select a scope.
You must configure an address scope for the interface before you can select it.

IP | Enter an IP address. The IP address must be within the IP pool added to the |
