Hello,
I am from Rutgers University and we have approximately 10,000+ resnet connections. We are using static IP addresses. I am anxious to switch to DCHP and forced registration to make it easier on the Help Desk at the beginning of the semesters.
There have been concerns about switching to DHCP because of the possibility of students running their own DHCP servers, especially with Win XP. Can anyone share if they have similar concerns and how you plan to handle it? Also, feel free to list your experience with the pros and cons of DHCP vs. static IPs.
Also, do you suggest forcing students to register their computer from day one?
Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Keri
