Hi,

Is it okay to allow DHCP to distribute ip address for swiches, or should
these devices have static ip addresses.

Thanks,
Sam
 
I would recommend either Static or use Reseved via DHCP. Static would be my
first choice.
 
I agree with Phillip. When a switch is malfunctioning and you need to
review its event log, this is a bad time to be trawling the DHCP server to
find the address of the switch. I personally lock the switch down manually,
then add a reservation in DHCP just to handle any odd happenstance.
