6.2 DHCP Clients & Address Reservation
This section not only displays a DHCP dynamic client list but also
includes a configurable Static DHCP assignment feature.
The DHCP client list displays IP addresses assigned by the built-in
DHCP server, MAC addresses, host names and lease time. If you would
like some devices on your network to always have fixed IP addresses, you
can manually add a static DHCP assignment entry for each such device.
You can manually add an IP address and a MAC address, and then
whenever a host with this MAC address connects to the router, it will
always get the same IP address (the one you just added). According to the
connected computer's MAC address, the router checks relevant entries in
its DHCP reservation list and decides what IP address to assign to this
host (an unused IP from DHCP IP address pool, or a reserved one): If it
fails in finding a reserved IP address for this MAC address in the list, it will
immediately assign an unused IP from its DHCP IP address pool; and if
such IP is found, it will be assigned to this host so as to ensure that host
with a static DHCP assignment always get this reserved IP address.
