Yeah, you want me to pay 50k for someone to manage hostnames? *clap*

Devices change networks, they aren't always on the same network. If you're building your entire system based around nothing changing, when it does, everything shits the bed. There is dynamic IP allocation for a reason. Unless you're talking about a static part of the network that never changes (like a router or managed switch), this is silly. Once you get past 10 rigs you'll start to figure that one out on your own.

No meter. DHCP is a must in farms or you are doing it wrong, unnecessary effort.
You don't have to pay any K and don't have to manage hostnames or change computer names or anything in Windows at all, you just don't understand what DHCP is, google it. If you have some basic IT skills, you may learn and DIY from Youtube. Dynamic IP allocation is for everyday users, not for industrial cases.

When someone with expert skills is trying to help you and give you a "million dollar advice", please don't argue, just take it. And be sure I manage many times more then just 10 rigs and do least effort in the process.

P.S. I am ready to help anyone else in farm automatization, just PM me (no off topics here).

DHCP is for dynamic IP allocation you dolt.

You were arguing FOR static IPs, which you wouldn't need DHCP in that case.

That aside, which you don't seem to understand the terminology which you use, you argue again for static IPs. Static IPs are for anal retentive admins that need to have absolute control over their network (even then you literally argued my first point), which is static IPs are completely unnecessary and will just waste a bunch of time screwing around with static tables whenever you change something. The only exception to this is networking gear where you always know where it is. When you change your hardware such as a motherboard failure, guess what you'll be doing again? If you change it to a new network or get a new router, guess what you'll be doing again? If you need to move things to different subnets and manage more machines as you grow over the 255 device cap, GUESS what you'll be doing again?

Yeah, you have no idea what you're talking about no is assigning a static IP in at table 'million dollar advice'. You're a kid out of high school that took a networking class and thinks that's the end all be all of everything. No one here thinks basic networking advice is anywhere close to million dollar advice. And you also made my case of hiring someone who is a waste of money unless you're managing corporate networks and of course the company has the money for it.
