It is DHCP server.. But Static DHCP will NOT change IP EVER as long that device's MAC address remains the same. No lease timeout or anything for that.

It works just like static IP, but you set your computer to DHCP, and server will assign you the IP, but if computer MAC address is programmed into DHCP server, then that specify IP will ALWAYS be assigned to that computer.

See DD-WRT Tutorial 1: Static DHCP for more details on this.
