 ==== Inconsistent Terminology ==== ==== Inconsistent Terminology ====
  
-Sometimes, confusion occurs because of imprecise or inconsistent terminology. First, DHCP Reservation is sometimes confused with //Static IP//. They are not the same. DHCP Reservation involves configuring an assigned IP address for the client device //within (FreshTomato's) DHCP server//. This causes the client to receive a specific address when it requests a DHCP lease. Static IP is the configuration of an IP address manually //from within the client device itself//.+Sometimes, confusion occurs because of imprecise or inconsistent terminology.

 Traditionally, devices were identified within DHCP by a //hardware type// code and //a client hardware (MAC) address//. Later, the optional Hostname field allowed more freedom when mapping device names in DHCP. Ironically, many people still used the //hardware type// followed by the //client hardware address// as a Hostname. Traditionally, devices were identified within DHCP by a //hardware type// code and //a client hardware (MAC) address//.
