Dhcp Reservation - D-Link DIR-615 User Manual

Section 3 - Coniguration
If you want a computer or device to always have the same IP address assigned, you can create a DHCP reservation. The router
will assign the IP address only to that computer or device.
Note: This IP address must be within the DHCP IP address range.

Revoke:
Click Revoke to cancel the lease for a specific LAN device and free an
entry in the lease table. Do this only if the device no longer needs the
leased IP address, because, for example, it has been removed from the
network.
Note: The revoke option will not disconnect a PC with a current network session from the network; you would need to use MAC
address filter to do that. Revoke will only free up a DHCP address for the very next requester. If the previous owner is still available,
those two devices may both receive an IP address conflict error, or the second device may still not receive an IP address; in that case,
you may still need to extend the DHCP IP address range to address the issue, which is located in the DHCP server section.
The reserve option converts this dynamic IP allocation into a DHCP reservation and adds the corresponding entry to the DHCP
reservations list.
