A township wants DHCP only during rack-and-stack, then static management addressing in steady state. How should that policy be understood relative to DHCP’s DC role?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Use DHCP like temporary scaffolding while the rack goes up, then bolt on permanent static management addresses if policy says so. Township day-0 ZTP can still lean on DHCP even if steady state goes static. Those phases are complementary, not mutually exclusive forever.
Full Explanation
Many operators use DHCP during initial ZTP, then convert management addressing to static once devices are online and documented. That does not invalidate DHCP’s role in day-0 deployment. Claiming static end-state forbids any DHCP use misunderstands phased addressing policy. Infinite leases are not a historical requirement for a valid ZTP event.
