How can I create a static DHCP entry in the SonicWall UTM appliance?

Description

If you want to use the SonicWall security appliance’s DHCP server, select enable DHCP Server on the Network | DHCP Server page. Select Enable Conflict Detection to turn on automatic DHCP scope conflict detection on each zone.

Static entries are IP addresses assigned to servers requiring permanent IP settings. Because SonicOS Enhanced allows multiple DHCP scopes per interface, there is no requirement that the subnet range is attached to the interface when configuring DHCP scopes.
