Will we be getting static IP options on the TBA? We had a problem on our own LAN over the weekend that makes this an absolutely must-have. I was out of town until last night and our DHCP server faled to reboot after a power outage. All the rest of the LAN booted as expected but the TBA failed to pull an IP and then was offline. Our DHCP server was also our VPN and RDP server but if the TBA had been online I could have remoted to another machine with the TBA from where I was but since the TBA had no IP it was offline in the portal.
I logged into the TBA today and still find no option for a static IP. IMHO, it's a very, very, very bad idea to require DHCP for the TBA. This is an infrastructure appliance not a desktop PC and as such should have a static IP at all times (not just by static DHCP reservation).
I respectfully submit this should be #1 on the list for the next set of changes. Without this something as simple as a DHCP service crash could bring down a TBA. Unacceptable in my opinion.
