Personally, I find running DHCP matches KISS exceptionally well. Except for the router/firewall, all of my internal systems and devices use DHCP, as they all do by default. No per-device setup required. Known devices don't change all hat often and have their line in dhcpd.conf for years. The main 40 lines of that file never change. I fail to spot any headaches and complexities.
Pretty much my experience as well. Everything you buy will default to dhcp these days, so why would I want to remember the special sauce to statically set an IP on some random printer, phone, tablet, or virtual machine? The three things that HAVE to have a static IP, I configure via dhcp reservations in the dhcp server, and this works the same whether you use Linux for a dhcp server or some random wifi router or your cable modem or what-ever. ----- I configured a backup DHCP server on my Rasberry PI, that I can turn on when I do maintenance on my main server. Its also a backup Cups server. And amazingly, it works rather well for both of those functions. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
