Section 7.4
Managing Static DNS
This section describes how to reserve a static or fixed IP address for the device. While it is more common to obtain
a random address from a dynamic DNS server, obtaining a fixed address from a static DNS server may be required
to connect to Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) or other remote access services that only trust specific IP addresses.
