Do I suppose to pick "static" instead?
Yes, "static" is what you probably want. Either that or "dynamic_dhcp". Static_dhcp is kind of a weird method that has actually been abandoned in the latest version of SIS. So, pick "static" if you want them assigned statically on the client, or "dynamic_dhcp" if you want them to be configured by the server. > > 2.
