What circumstances should network administrators use DHCP?
DHCP is good if you've got a network that changes constantly. If you owned a hotel that offered free in-room high-speed Internet over Ethernet, DHCP would make your life much simpler: instead of issuing a static IP address to every guest, you'd just tell them to set their laptops to use DHCP and plug into the jack in the wall. If you're running a network that doesn't change much over time, you can still use DHCP but I think it's kinda silly--it's as easy to plug in an IP address and subnet mask as it is to use DHCP.
