Hi! I’m studying and it says that it’s better to have a static IP address for a printer when a power outage occurs since the printer can come back up faster with static ip then a dynamic.
Why is static better?
In: Technology
A static IP is stored in the printer so it doesn’t need to talk to the DHCP server when it is rebooted to get an address.
This can be helpful if I need to manage the device but the DHCP server is down. I can assign a static IP on my computer to the same assigned network as the printer, then directly connect to the printer and manage it by going to the printer’s IP address in a browser.
