| Aug 22, 2014 at 16:13 | comment | added | Eugen Rieck | The rationale behind this is, that multi-homed and/or multi-IP setups are much more common in managed, always-on settings (e.g. Server farms and DMZs) - in these environments DHCP loses most of its strengths and thus is used much less often. | |
| Aug 22, 2014 at 15:46 | comment | added | barlop | well -usually- when something is usual, there is a reason why e.g. it's a default setting thus it's common, or some other reason. And even when things are just convention causing a norm, there's a reason. So there are reasons why particular things are usual, and that's what i'm trying to ask you. | |
| Aug 22, 2014 at 15:37 | comment | added | Eugen Rieck | The definition of "usual" is how often such an approach is taken in relation to the number of such situations. This is, why it is unusual. | |
| Aug 22, 2014 at 15:33 | comment | added | barlop | Why would that be unusual. Suppose you have a network of a few computers and are using DHCP anyway you put two adaptors in a computer and they're set to DHCP. Why is that unusual? Or you have just one computer and add an adaptor.. Why would DHCP be unusual there? | |
| Aug 22, 2014 at 15:30 | comment | added | Eugen Rieck | It is unusual to configure more than one interface on the same host with DHCP, which is exactly what my answer says ... | |
| Aug 22, 2014 at 14:48 | comment | added | barlop | What do you mean unusual to configure more than one with DHCP? DHCP is typically used to configure multiple network interfaces, or 1. You often specify a range with DHCP | |
