Concepts-Addressing

 In server mode, an addressing pool is commonly used; when used, clients that do not have server-side static addressing configured will be allocated an IP dynamically from this pool.
 
+== Static Address Assignment ==

+It is possible to have the server allocate a static IP to a client based on its commonName. This is done by way of an `--ifconfig-push` command in either a ccd file or (as an advanced alternative) by `--client-connect` script.
+
 It is important to note that defining static addressing with an address that is also in the pool will result in problematic behavior if that IP was already allocated to another client. For this reason it is critical to reduce your pool range and assign static addresses that are outside the defined pool.
 
-This means you cannot use the `--server` directive with static addressing as it consumes the entire network for the pool; instead, expand the directive and reduce the pool range.
