[atlas]IPv4 DHCP and varying addresses

Hi Wilfried,
The dhcp client is udhcpc. I think it does the right thing with lease expiry and a new lease. The measurements will work fine. However, there may be an issue in reporting probe's IPv4 address. The probe IP address you see in the control panel may be the previous one. Once it reboot it will report the new one.  I am not too sure I have to check. 

I will keep an eye for changes to probe ip address.

regards,
-antony
