But the server is still operational, it’s just moved.

My only argument is in the idea of finding which device has a particular IP address.
Guess you’re running laps around the campus staring at pegs for a while to figure out which one it is.

I want to criticize this but I have multiple production environments with no DHCP and the process for provisioning new servers is basically “Guess an ipv4 address and if you pick one that’s already in use the build will fail and you can guess again.”
This is arguably better which is a little embarrassing.

Totally OK way of doing it. You basically manually implemented the protocol APIPA uses to allocate 169.254 addresses.

Have you never just run an nmap of the whole network and made a list of ip addresses that are occupied?
Toribor@corndog.social 6 months ago
You could, but that information gets stale pretty quickly and is tricky to do with the ACLs.

ah yes the good old “gonna use manual addressing because lmao” and then the good old “man i wonder which IP sets i have used already”
