I assign ip's to expected instruments, phone, tablet, laptops, and allow the router to assign addresses to "other" machines. wifi is just another connection different than wire.
While a good DHCP + DNS set-up can handle the dhcp telling the dns about devices, having static, predefined addresses for key devices like the printer, the router/gateway can simplify a lot of things about configuration and debugging. It can also simplify ACLs. Personally I hate the idea of early binding ACLs but sometimes it is very useful. I can tell my printer to refuse any device on the network that isn't my PC, my phone or or my laptop or my tablet. It is a simple security hack. I'm sure Patrick can give other illustrations. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
