machines, e.g. server for mail, FTP, telnet, web, etc. that
you may have to knowing their Ethernet address.
NOTICE:
There aren't any configurations about Netmask for clients, because WANpro will use the
Netmask value from configuration item of the LAN encapsulation.
The fix IP address should not be include inside the IP address pool range of dynamic leases, else

If you have some hosts move in and move out frequently, a short lease time is preferred.
If hosts in your network are stable, a long lease time can also reduce the packet exchange
between server & clients.
