The Great [link|/forums/render/user?username=pwhysall|BOFH] among us said:Many small networks are staticly assigned.Some Extremely Large Networks are staticly assigned, also!
Ain't that right [link|/forums/render/user?username=static|Wade]? (PUN intended!)
I wasn't going to get in the way of CRC's static address situation. He seemed perfectly able of going round in circles without my help. Besides, I wouldn't want to damage anything there...
That said, even large networks are likely to have a few statically assigned IP addresses in amongst the seas of DHCPed ones. Servers. Gateways. Certain Clients. If you have a decent IP address management structure for the amount of change it experiences, it is possible for Very Large networks to not use DHCP. I've seen this in action.
That said, I use static IPs on my machines at home.
