Because I tried configuring a static IP address on the iPad, then connected it to a different Wi-Fi network. When I reconnected to the original Wi-Fi, the configured IP address was completely gone and it reverted to automatic DHCP.
Question
Can Jamf Pro configure and assign an IP address on an iPad if I don’t want to use automatic DHCP?
+6No, Jamf Pro cannot configure a static IP address on iPad. The Wi-Fi MDM payload doesn't include IP configuration — this is an Apple platform limitation, not a Jamf limitation.
Alternative: Use DHCP Reservation on your router to assign a fixed IP based on the device's MAC address.
