LAN Static IP Address Issue

I am attempting to set a static ip address on the LAN and need to stay outside of the DHCP range. My internal ip address is 192.168.1.1

The DHCP range is 192.168.100 to 192.168.149

I want to set the static address to 192.168.1.11, but I am unsure if this address is actually 192.168.1.110 or 192.168.1.011? One address would reside within the DHCP range where the other is outside the range, which is correct?

Also, is 192.168.1.1 actually 192.168.1.001 or 192.168.1.100? Can you seem my dilemma.
 
The static IP 192.168.1.11 could be written as 192.168.001.011 and is different from 192.168.1.1 (192.168.001.001) and 192.168.1.100 (192.168.001.100).

As for your range for the scope, did you mean to say 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.149? If so, then setting a static IP of 192.168.1.11 would be outside the scope and would not cause any problems with your clients using DHCP.

If your scope is actually, 192.168.100.x to 192.168.149.x, why do you need so many IP addresses (over 17k) in one network segment?
