Or, just tell the DHCP server that you want a specific MAC address to
always be assigned to a specific IP address.  It doesn't matter if it's in
or out of the assignment range, then, or whether or not the unit in
question understands DHCP or is configured manually on it's end; the DHCP
server will not assign another client to that IP.  Though for ease of
dealing with static assignments, I personally find it much simpler to do it
all at the DHCP server end only if the client end speaks DHCP, just in the
off chance I need to change the network configuration later.
