A DHCP server will issue a new IP unless it's asked to renew by the client,
or has been configured to give out a static IP.  You could tell your DHCP
server to give out a static IP for the board's mac address, or install
something like avahi-daemon in the system (or your preferred mDNS
responder) and just use the hostname.

All of my systems have avahi-daemon installed, and I configure the hostname
in local.conf, so I don't need to care what IP a board has as I can just
ssh into bob.local.
