Tips and rules for distributing IP addresses

Before you allocate IP addresses using DHCP and MacIP,
consider whether you need to set aside any static addresses.
Note any planned and currently used static addresses before
you use DHCP and MacIP.
Avoid fragmenting your block of IP addresses. For example, try
to use a continuous range for the static addresses you choose.
