Dhcp and ensuring it works is someting I don’t care about. I tell the kernel wich packets it should be interested in and how to sign itself and that will be it thank you very much.

I configure static routes and have all my machines and network segments neatly arranged in my database. I setup a new machine I know exactly what address it should have,it goes up and until it has a problem it will keep the address it was installed with.

Its 2026 I work like that, you can have your opinions I have mine. The difference is that I depend on one less thing that I don’t care about, so I have more profit margin.

Is there a reason you sre using dhcp instead of assigning ips manually?

Dhcp is great if you don’t care about stuff, in my experiece as soon as you start caring you should do it manually
