Correct. the DHCP server will reassign the same IP address to the same mac address based on lease time and a couple of other factors.

I got a question. When I was creating virtual machines each was assigned a unique ip address. Whenever I put a new os on a the same computer it gets the same ip address as the previous os had. Because of this I suppose I am to assume that the router keeps a record of the MAC of the networking card and of the IP address assigned to it. Is that so? What about the VM? Is the network card of the VM virtual as well and so has its own MAC?
