The SB boxen can be persistent about remembering old stuff. :-D ...pablo Server: Win10 and LMS 8.1.0 System: SB Touch --optical->- Benchmark DAC2HGC --AnalysisPlus Oval Copper XLR->- NAD M22 Power Amp --AnalysisPlus Black Mesh Oval->- KEF Reference 1 Other Rooms: 2x SB Boom; 1x SB Radio; 1x SB Classic-> NAD D7050 -> Totem DreamCatcher + Velodyne Minivee Sub Computer audio: workstation --USB->- audioengine D1 -> Grado RS1/Shure 1540 pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114051 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Static IP addresses for Squeezebox devices
I don't think it will make much difference because the Slim network protocol includes a discovery and advertising mechanism that allows Squeezebox components to recognize each other in milliseconds. Depending on your network topology you are however likely to benefit from assigning a static IP address to LMS as this machine will also be accessed through other networking protocols (HTTP, telnet). One benefit that I see myself is that when you tell the DHCP server to assign static IP addresses based on MAC you can usually also assign it a static name by which you will always be able to find it, even after a factory reset. gordonb3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71050 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114051 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Static IP addresses for Squeezebox devices
You could also use a bind feature. This way you tell the router to use IP xxx for MAC yyy This way you are sure about the ip address but could reshuffle the devices if necessary without accessing the device. Just reboot it would be suffient. Very handy if you change your network setup. *SqueezeBoxes:* 1x Transporter (Living room) 1x SB2 (shed), 1x Radio (Kitchen), 1x Boom (Dining room), 1x piCorePlayer (jacuzzi), 1x piCorePlayer (Garden) 1x OSMC + Squeezelite (Movie room), 1x Touch (Study 2), few spare unit's *Server:* LMS on Pi3 7.9.1. on PcP 3.21 *Network:* AVM Fritzbox, Netgear Smart Switch 24p, 3x Ubiquity edwin2006's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66926 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114051 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I just assign a static address to my LMS Server. It's always been and stayed the same so I can always remember. It's just easier for me and the Sboxen to remember the same address. The Sboxen get their own dynamically via DHCP, hasn't been an issue for many years (also I seem to recall many, many years back I did assign them static addresses too - or rather, the DHCP server kept them the same). ...pablo Server: Win10 and LMS 8.1.0 System: SB Touch --optical->- Benchmark DAC2HGC --AnalysisPlus Oval Copper XLR->- NAD M22 Power Amp --AnalysisPlus Black Mesh Oval->- KEF Reference 1 Other Rooms: 2x SB Boom; 1x SB Radio; 1x SB Classic-> NAD D7050 -> Totem DreamCatcher + Velodyne Minivee Sub Computer audio: workstation --USB->- audioengine D1 -> Grado RS1/Shure 1540 pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114051 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Static IP addresses for Squeezebox devices
Here is a general question based on issues I had with a plugin. Would I be better off having static IP addresses for my Squeezeboxes? My overall setting is for dynamic addresses and I don't see that causing me any problems.
