S Stout Jan 4, 2006 #1 Is it a bad practice to have servers as DHCP clients...even if their IP address is reserved? Thanks.
P Phillip Windell Jan 4, 2006 #2 Yes. What happens if the DHCP Server goes down right before the Server's Lease expires? Ans: Lease cannot be renewed What happens if the DHCP Server goes down and the Servers were Statically assigned? Ans: Nothing Servers should not ever be dependent on a DHCP Server for thier "survival", reserved or not reserved is irrelevant.
