Scenario: I have a Linux computer in AP mode and for whatever reason, I do not have a DCHP server installed. Now, I connect a couple laptops to said AP. How do I tell the AP (computer) that the new devices belong to such-and-such IP address?

DHCP is a method for automatically register machines in a local DNS server. If you are running Linux on the laptops as well, assign an IP address to each of the machines by editing the hosts file.

sudo vim /etc/hosts 
add the following line, change the IP address accordingly.
192.168.1.2 laptop1

Or, use NetBIOS Name Service for Windows and multicast DNS for Mac.
