Because client creation is much easier if you just tell it to DHCP
rather than spending time to punch in technobabble numbers each time.
Huh? You get the mac address how? Looks to me like you're trading
the need to type a simple IP address with a much larger complexity on
the server side, whatever you do.
ifconfig gives mac addresses last i checked. One just makes a note of
the mac addresses of their serves, attach the same ip to the mac
address everytime, and then everything can be run on dynamic IPs.
That's not a horrible idea, but not really simpler than assigning the IP
directly - and it gets a little weird when you start copying vmware
images around in ways that make them want to make up new mac addresses.
There's also a problem where you have multiple nics and need to assign
some non-default static routes to one or more. I don't think there is a
way to do that with dhcp.
