dhcpcd? Do you mean dhcpd.conf> If so that is the DHCP *server* 
settings. Only applicable if you are running DHCP *server* on the 
Raspberry PI. If I understand your OP you want to set a static IP on the 
Raspberry PI as the *client*. You want to set it statically and not get 
it dynamically from the router. Your router has the DHCP *server*.

Now most modern routers can "reserve" addresses based on MAC addresses. 
It is usually found under the advance settings for the DHCP server on 
the router. On a Linux server you would edit the /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf. 
But that is not what you are asking.

For you, you want to determine the DHCP range for the pool on your 
router. A typical value is 100-254. That would mean you have a range of 
2-99 address for static IPs,(assuming Class C network). Then you will 
want to edit your PI's interfaces configuration as I detailed elsewhere 
in the thread.
