    Residential services do not have the ability to use static IP addresses. However, if you have a Cox Business account, you can add one or multiple static IPs to your services. If you would like more information on this please contact our business team at 1-866-744-0179.

      Sounds like they are requesting a DHCP reservation for a static IP on the LAN. This isn't possible AFAIK with the Cox gateway but is easy with a retail router.
