You have DHCP set up on your network. You want the DHCP server to issue an IP address to the network printer but you don’t want that address to change. What type of DHCP address assignment is being used?
A DHCP reservation is the process of binding an IP address to the MAC address of a device so that address is permanently assigned to that device and will not be reissued by the DHCP server. It is a helpful alternative to assigning a static IP directly on the printer, allowing you the same functionality but centrally managed on your DHCP server.
