If you use DHCP anyway, perhaps you have a dynamic pool of IPs you
hand out to random machines that "plug in" to your network, perhaps
you have a pool of IPs (dynamic or fixed) to use with machines that
boot over the network, you just might find it more convenient to set
up all of your machines to configure their networking using DHCP. That
is usually much simpler than configuring things by hand.

You can still configure the machines with fixed addresses by hand if
you prefer, but you can also boot them up with DHCP providing the
networking details.
