1. Introduction

address in a different subnet, depending on the existing network settings (if there is any) or
user’s preferences.

1.4.2 AUTOMATIC IP

The WHA-5500CPE can also be configured to “obtain” an IP address automatically from a
DHCP server on the network. This address is called “dynamic” because it is only
dynamically assigned to the device, which may change depends on the IP assignment
policy used by the DHCP server on the network. Since the IP address in this case may
change from time to time, this method is not recommended - unless the user uses UPnP or
other management tools that do not depend on a fixed IP address.
