Answer:

Use a DHCP reservation for the server IP address.

Step-by-step explanation:

The best solution to achieve this while retaining the ability for the server to keep the same IP address is to use a DHCP RESERVATION for the server IP address.

DHCP reservation can be defined as an IP address which are permanent due to the fact that It is a specific and unique IP address that is often within a DHCP scope making it to be permanently reserved for leased use to a specific DHCP client or user and in which the users can comfortably configure a DHCP reservation in their DHCP server whenever they need to reserve a permanent IP address assignment which is why the DHCP Servers would often support a “DHCP Reservation” because it allows someone to provide a pre-set IP address.
