How it works...

Typically, whenever a client computer is set to obtain an IP address automatically, it reaches out and looks for a DHCP server that hands to the client whatever IP address is free and next in the list. This causes DHCP clients to change their IP addresses on a regular basis. For desktop computers, this is usually fine. In many cases, however, it is beneficial to reserve particular IP addresses for specific devices, thereby ensuring they always receive the same IP address. Creating DHCP reservations is a good practice for servers, and also for many static devices on the network, such as print server boxes and telephony equipment.
