  • So this is where I’m a little confused. The USG had the option to assign a static IP (which I’ve done), but if you ever need to CHANGE that IP… Chaos. From what I understand the USG needs to propagate that IP to all your devices, but it uses the controller to do that. Then you also run into issues with IP leases having to time out. Same problem occurs if I ever upgrade my server and change out the MAC address. Because now the IP is assigned to the old MAC.

    I’m not sure if there’s any way around this. But it basically locks me in to keeping the controller (and thus my server) at a single, fixed IP, without any chance of changing it.
