Overview

A DHCP Server enables you to book an IP address for any host or MAC address. Reservations can be set in both scope configuration modes, manual, and automatic. Adding a reservation in the automatic mode does not switch to manual mode.

Any IP address included in a defined subnet can be reserved. This address can (although it does not have to) belong to the scope of addresses dynamically leased, and it can also belong to any range used for exceptions.

This article provides the required steps to reserve an IP address within a DHCP scope in Kerio Control.
