Asking for clarification as what I’ve read suggests yes, but is also sometimes coupled with advice to (still?) set a static IP outside of the DHCP address range as well.

Thanks in advance!

    dhcp is the only service that would allocate the address. if you use an address outside of a dhcp scope, youre fine in that it wont be automatically used.

    now, this is kinda different per manufacturer… but in some routers generally setting/assigning a static to an mac address is just forcing a little mini 1-to-1 dhcp scope your incoming mac to the ip you set.
