Static IP on wired LAN

I have an Arch Linux machine connected to a LAN by ethernet. The router runs OpenWRT.

DHCP assigns IPs to this machine like `192.168.1.*` - quite typical. I want the IP to always be `192.168.1.10`.

Ideally, I would like to do this through configuration on the machine only, without configuring anything on the router. The machine should know to request `192.168.1.10` from DHCP, rather than relying on DHCP to choose the correct IP address. It doesn't have to be through DHCP either (I don't know that much about how LAN IPs are assigned).
