How to change IP in FTTH?

[ChrisM]

I have restarted ONT 4 times but same IP, why? How can I have different IP each time I restart ONT.

try giving a 10 minute break in between? (though i thought bsnl was giving private ips these days?)

You can't. Unless you are on a static IP which needs to be paid for separately, the ISP allots IPs dynamically which may or may not change when you restart the ont.

@Sushubh what you mean is a unique public IP and not a private IP. There are simply too many connected devices for anyone to be assigned a permanent IP, so everyone just gets whatever is available at that moment from a pool. The solution was supposed to be ip6 addresses but we have been hearing that for several years now.

Nat?

What about NAT?

Right now BSNL FTTH does not have private IP via NAT or anything. We get dynamic public IP for now.
