@g-i-jones that's true.
-
@g-i-jones No i prefer reservations but sometimes we have equipment that changes but want it on the same static IP
-
I only exclude a small portion of an address pool within a scope for things like switches and such. This is usually the first 10 IPs, x.x.x.1 to x.x.x.10 for example. Everything else is available for DHCP lease, except obviously those IP addresses which are reserved. Those are restricted to specific MAC addresses.

That's how reservations work

I disagree entirely. Here's why. You rely on a static IP for a printer right? Because you don't want them switching up all the time, but printers do go to standby mode, and then now you have a samsung phone (seems to always be the damn samsungs) that steals that IP and now the printer doesn't work. Happens all the time. I typically do both; I'll set a static IP for a printer, and then make the reservation on the DHCP server. This way nothing steals it. Additionally I'll do this same thing with anything of importance that has a static IP.
Well, we use different ip ranges for static IPs and for dynamic IPs (reservations or not). That's why you can set the range in any dhcp server. And also in most cases we don't have any dhcp server on vlans for static IPs.
When the printer doesn't work IT support can just put a new one in it's place, go into the menu and change the static IP to what it should be and Bob's your uncle.
Same thing with IP cameras, switches and what have you.

@pete-s "Bob's your uncle". . . Huh?

From what I found it's a common phrase in the UK that means "and there you have it"

But what are the odds Bob is really someone's uncle?

Honestly going to start saying this every chance I get and see how many people I can confuse.

Having just done an IP scheme change a month or so ago, I'm A DHCP Reservations believer. Made the process so simple.
Out of curiosity, was a Windows Server handling DHCP for the network?
Yes it was

The odds are 100% if he has a camera.

So this topic has dived into the deep end of a pool filled* with things that no one cares about. ..
Edit: Typo fix.

Why would this matter? I've done the same thing with Windows DHCP and with router DHCP. Both are fairly trivial.Just watch the details. Like anything.
I was told that upgrading Windows Servers, DHCP reservations don't transfer. Of course it should be quick and easy to redo the reservations. Just one of those little annoyances.
