Did you have to do anything on the M6 Pro when configuring the static IP address? I had a static IP address assigned to me by Verizon but the M6 Pro never "took it". With the previous Cisco device I was using, I had to manually enter/assign the ISP static IP address. I don't see a way to be able to do that with the M6 Pro.
Thanks!
For your static IP case, you can try to enable IP Passthrough on M6 Pro. Then the static IP can be passed to your Ethernet client.
Please check whether this works for you.
Thanks

JohnPeng . I'll admit that I didn't have IP Passthrough enabled when I tried it before. However, if you are on the M6 Pro GUI, you can see your public facing IP address listed. When Verizon assigned me a dynamic IP address, the M6 Pro accepted that. When they assigned a static IP address, it was as if the M6 Pro wouldn't accept it.
This is similar behavior to the Cisco router I had previously. With the Cisco router, I had to configure it to use the static IP that Verizon had given me. In other words, I had to go into the router CLI and specifically give it the IP address that Verizon assigned.
Nothing downstream has changed so I don't think just enabling IP Passthrough would work. But I can give it a shot if you really think it might help.

Yes. Please give IPT a try and let me know whether this helps.
