Eh... the point of port-based DHCP is exactly not to cross referene switch ports... Cross referencing MAC addresses is stupid and unworkable. Full agreement there.
There is location and cabling, and static IP addresses. You seem to make sure they agree, going so far as "plug ethernet in one at a time", WTF. Port-based DHCP makes those two agree, automatically.
- latchkey 9y agoLike I said, I don't have access to the switches. You're also assuming that someone in the DC doesn't mix up the cables. I've seen that happen multiple times. Agreed, plugging one in at a time isn't the best, but it works and only happens once per machine. Short of writing a lot of code, it is not the end of the world.
