I was referring to the situation where you use the DHCP server to give |
| 18 |
out pseudo-static addresses. I have always used addresses outside of, but |
| 19 |
in the same subnet as, the reserved range. The reserved range just tells |
| 20 |
the DHCP server which addresses to use in the absence of any other |
| 21 |
specifications. |
