Static DHCP
If you are
running a server on the LAN and want to make sure that the server computer
always obtains the same IP address from the DHCP server, Static DHP can be
used. Simply enter the IP address that you would like the DHCP server to
assign and specify the MAC address of the computer that you would like this
IP address to be assigned to.
Note: Make sure that the IP
address you are trying to assign falls between the starting and ending IP
address range that the DHCP server can assign.
IP - Enter the IP address that you would like to always have assigned to
a device on your network.
MAC Address - Enter the MAC address of the computer or device

and click clone to populate the IP and MAC Address fields with its current IP
and MAC address. You can then click Apply to always assign the device you
chose it's current IP address, or you can assign it another IP address by
changing the IP address in the IP field and then clicking Apply. DHCP
client computers connected to the unit will have their information displayed
in the DHCP Client Table. The table will show the Host Name, IP Address, MAC
