Select DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) to allow a client (computer or device) to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server that manages a pool of IP addresses and network information on a "request and grant" basis. Upon timeout (or lease expiration), the IP address assigned to the client can be reassigned to a new client. Select Static (Static Allocation) to allow the host server to allocate an IP address based on a table containing MAC Address/IP Address pairs that are manually entered (such as by a network administrator). Only clients with a MAC address listed in the MAC/IP Address Table will be assigned an IP address. The IP Address allocated to the client is on a longer term basis than that assigned by the DHCP mentioned in the other option.
