Jails have static IP address and DHCP address and both work?

Running Freenas 11.3U5 and have three jails, all upgraded to latest versions. Each jail is set up to run Plex, Sonar and Sabnzbd independently. Everything is working fine but I decided to assign each jail a static IP address instead of using DHCP so whenever the server rebooted I wouldn't have to redo all the links to access these programs as their IP addresses would always change.

The wierd thing is that the new static IP addresses work fine as well as the previous DHCP addresses. I restarted each jail, restarted Freenas and rebooted the router and nothing has changed. All the plugins have full functionality accessing them at either IP address.

Why?
