IEEE 802.11b/g.

IP addresses of servers are often static so that clients could always locate the servers by the static IP

addresses. By Static DHCP Mappings, you can ensure that a host will get the same IP address when

it requests one from the DHCP server. Therefore, instead of configuring the IP address of an intranet

server manually, you can configure the server to obtain an IP address by DHCP and it is always as-
