Often it is the server that is hosting the DHCP, so it can not assign its own address. But usually its just useful if the servers always have the same IP address. For example if a server is hosting a DNS server (as company servers often do), and all the workstations in the company are looking to that IP address for DNS info, the IP addrss can not change. If the IP address of the DNS server were to change then no computers on the network would be able to resolve domain names.
DHCP can assign IP addresses dynamically, but servers, including print serves, should have static IP addresses to avoid surprises.
DHCP
A DHCP server will assign addresses and network masking automatically.

That means that the DHCP server keeps track of what IP addresses - out of a pool (or set) of addresses - have been assigned. Any time a host (computer or similar) requests an IP address, the DHCP server will assign an available address and mark it, in its memory, as "assigned" so it won't assign the same address to another computer.That means that the DHCP server keeps track of what IP addresses - out of a pool (or set) of addresses - have been assigned.

Simple assign the range in the DHCP Server after excluding some IPs For the Network Server(s). But if suppose you have already assigned the range and want to configure a static IP for the server in that range only, then just add the exclusion range in DHCP that you don't want DHCP to use for distribution. Exclusion range can be of one IP also. Hope this helped -- By MyNarutoAnime
IP addresses are assigned by DHCP servers, not by routers. DHCP servers will cache your IP address and reassign the same IP until the cache is cleared. ----
Yes, DHCP usually assigns a number of settings for an adaptor, which may include: IP Address Subnet Mask Default gateway WINS servers DNS servers and other settings.
They use DHCP to assign IP Addresses to Devices such as Windows XP, Networking flashcards, OIt DHCP and BootP services, and connecting routers. The definition for DHCP is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.
Read the section of the manual concerning enabling the router to be a DHCP server. DHCP is the magic that assigns IP numbers.
