for an IP Address object are Dynamic, Manual and Exclusion. If the IP
address is dynamically assigned by the DHCP server, it will be
automatically displayed.
Valid types that can be created manually are Manual and Exclusion. A
manual assignment type must have either a MAC Type or a Client

MAC Type specifies the MAC address type.
MAC Address specifies the hardware address of the NIC (Network
