Assign specific IP to a MAC address

Question

I am configuring a new XGS 138. In my previous firewall (Zyxel USG) I had a list of MAC addresses and corresponding reserved IP addresses. The assignment was handled via DHCP (but could also be manually configured). 
 In the Sophos firewall I have in the DHCP configuration a list of static IP/MAC combinations. My expectation was that the mechanism would be the same, but it seems that those are not applied by the DHCP server and instead have to be configured manually on each machine. 
 Is that the reality or do I miss something?

Hello Rolf, IP-MAC-Reservations within DHCP configuration are applied by the DHCP-Server. You didn't have to configure this manually on each machine. Every MAC should have a reservation within one DHCP-Scope only, otherwise you need a small additional config.
