Of course, this raises the question of why a server is using a DHCP address, unless the IP address is mapped to a specific MAC or perhaps used with dynamic DNS. Otherwise, how could anyone reach the server? The server is configured to use DHCP, but with a static IP assignment. This looks a bit unusual, but has two reasons.
1) I remotely prepared the server for a move. The target network has other network parameters. 2) If a server uses DHCP (with or without a static IP assignment), the router (Fritzbox) automatically creates or updates entries for DNS (local names in LAN) and port forwardings. It's more difficult to do this without DHCP on this router. Greetings, Björn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
