DHCP: Allow static lease of addresses within the dynamic pool
Currently it is not possible in the Sophos XG to store static DHCP leases in the internal DHCP server where the IP addresses are located within the configured DHCP pool. This is with other manufacturers such. B. AVM (Fritz! Box) without problems possible. Thus here is the DHCP for large customers currently partly to use. When will this be a solution.

Static IP reservation is important. As many customers have this requirements for a DHCP server.

In some cases it is preferable to set a static DHCP reservation inside the range allocated to dynamic clients.
Adding this ability would also allow fulfillment of this other feature request: https://ideas.sophos.com/forums/330219-xg-firewall/suggestions/11707182-dhcp-static-assignment-from-list-of-leases -

It was pretty bad to manage DHCP on the preceeding Cyberoam devices. Having to make a new dhcp range and not include anything you want to reserve is a pain, especially if you have devices in the middle of your DHCP scope you want to statically assign. The windows DHCP management is not perfect but its simple enough to use and understand, something similar in function would be great.

It would be great if the DHCP configuration could be simplified.
1/ Make static IP from an assigned IP would be great.
2/ It would be nice to have a single DHCP pool with exceptions/exclusions/static assignments within that pool or outside that pool.References:
