For one, it is easy to change the devices IP settings (everything from IP
assigned to DNS, etc).    What if you wanted to move the printer to another
network?

I know many folks are very adamant about using DHCP, I am wondering why,
besides the fact that there is little thought that has to be put into it,
what is the advantage?

Because when there is a network issue, it is really nice to be able to
pin-point the culprit with static addressing. So I don't want to start a
religious rant, just hear why people like it so much. 

 

Thank You

Subject: [THIN] OT: do hp jetdirects do dhcp conflict detection?

 

windows clients upon receiving an dhcpoffer send out an arp to verify that
the address is not in use and sends back a dhcpdecline if it is in use. Do
hp jetdirects do this as well? Also wondering about whatever network
component dell printers use too. Yes, we've had a couple of conflicts so
wondering if I should enable the address conflict detection on the dhcp
server or leave it alone.
