DHCP vs fixed IP

[chocomai]

on the contrary earlz, static ip is easier on 3-4 network pcs.

DCHP is simply a management feature. once a computer has been given an IP address whether its due DHCP or Statically it does not matter anymore, an IP address is an IP address.
port forwarding? this isnt the main thing, port forwarding isnt his main concern as of now(and most regular cafe's dont even bother, sa mga advance ra kuno ni).. ga libog paman gani cya kung static ba or dhcp iyang gamiton. and by the way, cant you port forward using local host names instead of ip address(im not sure ha, i also port forward using IPs sa akong network)?

the only difference siguro is that dchp clients "renew" their allocated IPS after some time (time is configurable) but functionwise, i do not see any significant hurdle based on his setup(assuming 30 pcs internet cafe)

but specifically for my own setups all my "client" computers are DHCP'ed only my printservers and NAS'es are statically assigned (of course you have to reserve the ips for them in your router)

im not saying static ips are bad, both work as they are supposed to anyway.

but if junax69 is asking this question, i assume he is no expert on the subject so my advice would be to go the "easy" way

well i guess we find it the opposite way,ofcourse sayon pag static IP sa 3 ra ka computer kaysa 30.

FINAL VERDICT

Static = 5
Dynamic = 3

Teh Winnah = Static

Okay to all static ip address guys..you won...

i'm just wonderin...if you guys willing to setup a 30 pcs network on a static ip address?? and manage it as well?? =)

30 pcs ra? wakekeke...

wa ra katunga sa ako ge stup nga domain consisting 4 clusters and 3 nodes.. basta mo total ug hmm... masks like 192.168.25-50.x/192.168.1-30.x /192.168.75-100.
wa pay labot sa 192.168.0.x (the broadcast and gateway and servers and stuff here)

ipha pila ka pc kekekeke

wow mindless. you have a very large network. static ips ni tanan?

djereza, goodluck, are you looking for an "employee" to setup your network and manage it as well?

daghan diri ang mga cisco ccna ug comptia network+ people. im sure you will get a lot of help here. i recomment you learn from their tips instead of letting someone do the work. para ma gets nimo sooner and later how to manage it on your own.

@chocomai

yep static na tanan. . Naa sad dhcp around 50 ra ka ip addresses pooled for docking terminals, some plug and plays , removables, wireless workstations.., and stuff

[d_m00n_u]

servers, gateways, all other nga kinahanglan i.access need static IP.. aron dili ka mabuang sige gukod....for access or maintenance or etc...

workstations shud be dynamic (dchcp).. to ease maintenance and ip conflict... just make sure u assign ranges sa static ug dchp... like xxx.xxx.xxx.1 - 20 static... xxx.xxx.xxx.21 up dchp leases...

mindless: daghan2x sad na ug pc bro....you're documenting a lot of pcs para lang ma lista ang ip add. well imo sad nang style....good luck. =)

Static assignment of IP addresses is typically used to eliminate the network traffic associated with DHCP/DNS and to lock an element in the address space to provide a consistent IP target.
