Title: "We Need to Change the IP Address..."
Post by: deanwebb on March 05, 2018, 03:02:32 PM
For DHCP boxes, not an issue. Reboot, bounce the port, ipconfig release and renew, all the same. Get a new IP on the flip side.

For network devices, toooooooooooootally different issue.

:problem?:

And for devices that interoperate with the network and client devices (Why hello there, NAC!), you make one mistake... one mistake... and you got a huge mess on your hands.

:explosion2:

Sticking with the networking stuff, ask yourself, if an IP address of a management appliance changed or if the IP of a core router/switch changed, where would you have to replicate all those changes to?
