Another way that DHCP can be used is when the router is smart enough 
to match IP addresses with Ethernet (MAC) addresses. That way a 
static address can be assigned to each machine centrally, at the 
router, rather than configuring machines individually. All machines 
use DHCP, but get their pre-assigned static IP address via DHCP every 
time they boot.
