Re: Snap 410 Dropping off Network w/ Reserved IPs
I would set 1 as static but outside of the DHCP range. Then set the other using the reserved DHCP (within the DHCP server). Then when/if it goes down test (ping) from both IP's. This may help you locate where the problems is.
I personlly like the reserved IP, mainly because I can move it to another subnet and and not have to change anything.
If another piece of hardware decides to use the same IP address as your servers, it will knock it off line. I had a person deside to make up his own IP address and took down a security server. He did receive a chewing, and did not take long to trace where ihe was coming from on a site with 2000+ pc's. The advantage of managed switches and having a complete map of the site.
ps, I don't do this for a living either. (home users)
