However I have seen interesting new challenges. For example, if the MPs just get their IP configuration from a DHCP server this eliminates the process of configuring an IP for each device. That is cool. On the other hand, not knowing which IP is assigned to which device introduces new problems. It makes debugging radio problems and hardware issues much harder in the field.

Hi Elektra

An option would be to move to IPv6 and use stateless address autoconfiguration, where the MAC address is used to form part of the IPv6 address. You can then easily see from the IP address which device it is, assuming you know its MAC address.
