Hi Muhammed,
This is done externally to CloudStack and depends on what DHCP infrastructure
you have in place. All DHCP implementations have the option to reserve an
address, i.e. a setting that confirms your MAC address – e.g. 01:02:03:AA:BB:CC
is always handed out the same IP address – in your case e.g. 10.103.72.65/23.
Once you have set this on your DHCP server(s) you can safely set the IP address
statically on your servers if you don’t want to rely on DHCP – this means you
will never have an IP conflict between a statically configured IP address and
your DHCP scope.
Please note though – you will most likely need more IP addresses for CloudStack
than the 1 (2?) you already have – CloudStack needs more IP addresses for it’s
system range. As a result you are much better off using a subnet without DHCP –
or configure an exclusion in your DHCP scope, e.g. something
10.103.72.1-10.103.72.99, such that you can safely use this excluded range for
CloudStack.

Thanks Boris and Dag for quick reply.
@Dag How do I utilize static IP addresses in combination with DHCP
reservations?
I have just installed CentOs and connected to the network on wire. DHCP has
given me 10.103.72.65/23 IP address. What do I need to do from now on?
Regards

DHCP
Hi Muhammed,
This may be possible if your DNS infrastructure is rock solid and is
guaranteed to work from all CloudStack networks (you would possibly also have
to set your TTL on your DNS entries low) – but all in all I would recommend
you utilize static IP addresses, alternatively in combination with DHCP
reservations to ensure you don’t have IP conflicts in your infrastructure.

Hello guys,
I have two systems and both of them are connected to a network that
allocates IP addresses using DHCP. I want to install cloudstack management
server on the one system and KVM (hypervisor) on the other system.
Can I do this? What steps would differ from normal (with static IPs)
ACS and KVM installation?
