Hi Michael, Are you saying the ISP is providing both DHCP and Static IPs for your public WAN address(es) using the same routed subnet?
My business DOCSIS cable modem ISP provides either a DHCP or a Static IP public WAN address, but not both at the same time for the same interface. Basically because the DHCP addresses are routed in a different public subnet versus the Static addresses. On the other hand, if only DHCP is used for the public WAN address, then to admin your bridge modem using a static private address should work without any extra effort. Again in my example, the cable modem will accept HTTPS connections to 192.168.100.1, provided 192.168.100.1 is routed via the default route over the WAN path, the modem's web interface will appear. Though if you defined a local private 192.168.100.1/24 LAN network or block RFC1918 egress traffic, the modem's web interface will be blocked.
