DHCP Reservation
A DHCP rule that keeps one device on the same IP address
Core Idea
A DHCP reservation is the setting that tells the DHCP server to keep assigning the same IP address to a device based on its MAC address. It behaves like a fixed IP from the device's perspective while still keeping address control centralized.
Why It Matters Here
Mathbong uses DHCP reservations for Proxmox management IPs, home-router settings, and stable internal service addresses. They are a practical way to keep server addresses stable without switching every machine to fully manual network configuration.
