I don't know what that means. \"deleted\" what, exactly, from where,
exactly? \"reassigned\" what, exactly, to what, exactly, how, exactly?
As usual, showing actual actions with their actual results (error
messages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague
descriptions or interpretations.

Explain what you want, and why. Then, explain what you did, and what
happened when you did it. What you think it all means is much less
useful than a clear description of actual events and observations.","body@stringLength":"1571","rawBody":"> I added a device with a new IP address within the DHCP range. [...]
