Will there be any issues running in this way? Will Asterisk ride through an IP change without a restart? If there is a definitive wiki

If that is the case then this is pretty much a non issue. I think they use the router mac address to assign an IP address.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Also the version of Asterisk I am running is old - 1.2.35 - yes I know it's old but it works and does what I need.
