| DHCP Reservation is a simple way to ensure that FreshTomato offers certain client devices the same IP address each time they request a lease. Simply enter the MAC address for a client device (which you can find on the Device List), into the **MAC Address** field, enter the **IP Address** (and optionally, **Hostname**) you want to assign to this device into those respective fields and click Save. NOTE that you don't need to check the **Bound to** button. Only check the **Bound to** button if you want to enable Static ARP binding. FreshTomato then offers that IP address (and hostname) to the MAC address you specified every time it offers a lease. This means that, in general, the client device will always get that IP address //whenever it requests one//. That last part, “whenever it requests one” is the key part here. See the explanation of the term Hostname later on this page. | DHCP Reservation is a simple way to ensure that FreshTomato offers certain client devices the same IP address each time they request a lease.
