You can specify a static DHCP assignment on a per host basis. You will need the
MAC address of the station and your desired IP address. The address must be

+IP address to assign to this host. It must be inside the subnet in which it is defined but can be outside the dynamic range.
+If ip-address is not specified, an IP from the dynamic pool (as specified by ``range``) is used. This is useful, for example, in combination with hostfile update.
