I'm not sure what you mean by "separate from", but don't confuse dynamic host
configuration with randomly changing IP addresses

A dhcp server is just a convenient way of storing host configuration in a
central place and retrieving it on boot. You can set anything up through it,
including a static IP address

A static address, where the computer is manually configured with an
address does not require a dhcp server. This is different from when the
dhcp server is configured to reserve a specific IP for a given MAC
address. In this situation, a computer will always have the same IP,
even though dhcp is used.
