3.3. Dynamic DNS Configuration
When users connect the STS Series to a DSL line or use a DHCP configuration, the IP address might
be changed whenever it reconnects to the network. It can therefore be very difficult to post all related

console, there is no way to know if an IP address has changed, or what the new IP address is.
