Avoid fragmenting your block of IP addresses. For example, try
to use a continuous range for the static addresses you choose.

The figure above shows an example of a block of IP addresses being
distributed correctly.
The example follows these rules:
An IP address must not be used as a static address if it is also
in a range of addresses being distributed by DHCP or MacIP.
A single IP address range is used by all the address-served
clients. These include DHCP, BOOTP, MacIP, and WAN clients,
even though BOOTP and static MacIP clients might not be
considered served.
