How to Configure DHCP IP Address Reservations

  • Last updated on

To reserve the same IP address for known DHCP clients, configure IP address reservations using MAC-to-IP-address mapping. IP address reservations are configurable in the simple and advanced DHCP service setup. DHCP reservations must reside outside of the DHCP range.

Before You Begin

  • Configure the DHCP service. For more information, see How to Configure the DHCP Service.
  • (optional) Configure advanced DHCP subnets and address pools. For more information, see Advanced DHCP Settings.
  • Identify the IP addresses to be mapped to your client's MAC addresses. The MAC address of a client can be found on the DHCP tab in the Hardware-Address column:
