So it can open you up to man-in-the-middle attacks. That's not good.

There are some times when its better to not use DHCP for fixed IPs https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/docs/DOC-24355

We do use DHCP for fixed IP devices like printers but we don't usually use it for servers that hold sensitive data. In those cases we hard code the IP
