You will need the dhcp-range option, as it is the one which enables
the DHCP server.

If you don't need dynamic allocation, but cannot use the 'static'
keyword, then you can set the dynamic range within the 128 address
range for which you have dhcp-host lines defined. Basically, it will
make dnsmasq reject or ignore any requests not in the ones statically
defined.

Amicalement,
