1 day agoI have never had issues with anu router when setting static inside dhcp range. Adding IP and MAC has always worked. Not saying you won’t have issues, just I haven’t yet
Its a ‘failsafe’ , like if part of the system depends on that drive mounting then if it fails then don’t continue. Not the expected default, but probably made sense at some point. Like if brakes are broken don’t allow starting truck, type failsafe.
