, 10:03, 12 August 2013→Reserving IP Addresses Through DHCP
Rather than configuring the machine manually, you can reserve an IP address from the DHCP server for that specific machine. This has the same result as manually configuring a static IP address, but offers two benefits. First, you have one location to keep track of all assigned static address. Second, through the DHCP server you will provide network settings. If you wish to change those settings, the change can be simply done on your server. All DHCP clients will then receive those updated changes when they renew their DHCP-provided addresses.

To reserve an IP address, you must first determine the Ethernet address of your client system. Windows NT/2000 users can type the command ipconfig /all . Windows 95/98 users can run the command winipcfg . Linux/UNIX users can type ifconfig.

Once you have determined the client's Ethernet address, click on the link to create a new hostname for a local host. Add the hostname of the target system, the Ethernet address along with the desired IP address into the web panel. From this point on specified IP address will only be provided to a client system with the matching Ethernet address.
