So tell me, absent:
- access to the router
- access to the dhcp server
- a broken lms that won't start
- no monitor or keyboard on the server
- only an iPad with a ssh terminal app to remotely access the server
..how would you go about logging in and fixing things? Don't you think
having a static address for the server might be an advantage here?
Maybe -save you a little time???- (Note to self: google "iPad network
scan apps".) Also, consider this: this server is running other services
for which there is no discovery mechanism. Again, don't you think a
static address would be helpful? I mean, we are talking about subnets
here with *maybe* max 5 or 6 devices on them.
