I've always wanted to know how a RED actually boots. My understanding is that the RED is configured for its uplink to be DHCP, will grab and address, contact the provisioning server(s), get its config, and then implements the config. That seems very straight forward.
However, when configured for static uplink ip address, and the device reboots, does it then power up, grab an uplink IP via DHCP, download the config, configures for a static, then what? Simply renumbers the WAN interface? I've always been curious about the exact sequence of events when the RED is configured for a static IP address.
