Even on a server lan you'll occasionally want to plug in a PC for diagnostics without having to poke in an IP address by hand.
Actually, nobody should be plugging any random device into my server LANs, and I certainly don't want to encourage it by having it work (even if just for IPv6).
When I send someone on site to do work for me, I don't want to have to prepare excessive instructions on how to connect their laptop to the local LAN. I want to say, "This switch, this port" and then move on to the actual work I sent them there to do. You're welcome to run your shop your way. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D.
