Implementing DHCP usually seems like a pretty straightforward process but there are a few things that are often forgotten during the planning phases of a DHCP implementation.

Setting up DHCP is usually a pretty straightforward process; however, most network administrators don’t always think to plan for the future need for statically assigned IP addresses. In these cases an admin may need to assign a device a static address later and end up causing an IP conflict.
