6. Select the Static Bindings tab from within the DHCP Pools screen.
A binding is a collection of configuration parameters, including an IP address, associated with, or bound
to, a DHCP client. Bindings are managed by DHCP servers. DHCP bindings automatically map a device
MAC address to an IP address using a pool of DHCP supplied addresses. Static bindings provide the
assignment of IP addresses without creating numerous host pools with manual bindings. Static host
bindings use a text file the DHCP server reads. It eliminates the need for a lengthy configuration file and
reduces the space required to maintain address pools.
