Using DHCP
A DHCP server becomes a single point of failure in your system configuration. If the DHCP server
goes offline, then IP addresses may be lost.
CAUTION: If you use DHCP, be sure to reserve statically assigned IP addresses for all storage
systems on the DHCP server. This is required, because management groups use unicast
communication.
NOTE: If you plan to bond the NICs, you must use a static IP address.
