It may be a challenge to find even a mid-span device that outputs both 802.3af (your camera) and Passive PoE (RB433) directly, let alone a switch. Not that it isn't a good idea--I'm sure plenty of MT users also have '3af' devices on their networks--I just haven't seen it done.

I guess the point I'm trying to make is that if the switches are always plugged into the same network segment (i.e. same VLAN), then why do you need DHCP on them at all?

With static DHCP leases, all the addresses are stored on the DHCP server. Addresses, default gateways, routing etc. for an entire broadcast domain can be managed from one device.

Seconded! With all the development made to SwOS lately, I'm surprised it still has only static IP capability. Just to be able to pick any switch out of a pile, put it on a network without any special handling, and be able to access its admin interface would be a real time-saver.
