DHCP exclusions is when you have a specific set of IP addresses that will not be handed out by the DHCP, whereas DHCP reservations are a specific set of chosen IP addresses which are handed out by the DHCP. Meaning, you'd choose exactly what IP addresses you want in your IoT configuration.

Adding onto this, with DHCP Reservation you map an IP address to a MAC address
