4.1.2 To 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.
