Hi Mas,<br />
<br />
Thank you for your answer.<br />
<br />
A lot of devices, +- 100, are configured to scan via SMTP using the IP address of the old Exchange server.<br />
<br />
We wouldn't have to change each device if we could use the same IP address.

Just FYI to avoid such in future. <br />
Assigning IP address instead of name in such device is a bad idea.<br />
Make sure you configure the same settings of receive connector in new Exchange server to avoid service interruption of scanner,printer

Hi all,<br />
<br />
We are in the process of migrating Exchange 2010 to 2016.<br />
<br />
We are currently in co-existence. When we are finished, is it a good or bad idea to give the new Exchange 2016 the same local IP address as the old server?<br />
<br />
This would for example be a easy as we have a lot of devices like scanners on our network using this local IP address.<br />
<br />
Thank you!

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.
