Personally, I am in the camp of static the hypervisors, DC, routers, and switches.
Yes, I agree on all those.
I am just used to statically assigning everything. This way we can set blocks of IP's aside for an application lets say, that you make block of .100-.150 for that one application and nothing can touch that range. but if you DHCP everything you kinda loose that.
What's the benefit of ranges of that nature? And reservations allow for that as well, you can set aside reservation blocks. But why?
What's the point of putting things besides each other with IPs? We do that for switches on the management vlan but most services are by DNS anyway so it doesn't matter
That's something that I've always said. Any attempt to have an IP address "range" identify things on the network is a mistake, a misunderstanding of the purpose of IP addresses. They are nothing but numbers and humans should not try to make them meaningful, they are inherently not meaningful. The only reasonable exception is the gateway.
