I like to use DHCP settings on my router to “reserve” IP addresses - automatically assigning the reserved internal address of my choice to the MAC address of the machine I want to access in this way...
That's what I do too. I have IP addresses mapped to MAC addresses for all my devices on my network. The only exceptions are my firewall/router and my main desktop system, both of which are static config. Also, on IPv6, there's no need for DHCP, as one address on each device is based on the MAC address or, in some cases, a static random number.
