Explanation

A DHCP reservation (also called a static DHCP lease or IP-MAC binding) ties a specific IP address to a device's MAC address on the DHCP server. Each time the printer requests an address, DHCP assigns the same reserved IP-giving it a consistent address without manually configuring a static IP on the device. A scope is the entire range of IP addresses DHCP can assign. A lease is the temporary assignment duration. An exclusion removes addresses from the assignable pool but does not guarantee a specific device receives a specific address.
