My Network
What is My Network?
Sometimes, you might want to reserve IP addresses in order to connect your devices, which can be done while adding your device.
In this page, all the IP addresses that you've reserved for your devices will be stored here.
Reserved IP addresses provide consistent network connectivity for your devices across lab sessions.
Managing Reserved IP Addresses
If, for some reason you decide to delete the reserved IP, you can do that in 2 ways:
Method 1: Direct IP Deletion
Under each of the Reserved IP addresses, you will find a Delete button. Click on the button, and then click on Delete again.
Method 2: Unreserve from Device Page
Another way is to unreserve the IP address from the Device page. Click on My Device, find the device associated with the IP address that you want to delete, click on the 3 dotted-button and then click on Unreserve IP.
Once you click on Unreserve IP, it will ask you to confirm your decision. If you are sure with your decision, click on Unreserve.
Result of Unreserving
You will notice that the "Reserved" status disappears from the Device and then the Origin IP becomes "No Connection".
After unreserving an IP, the device will need to obtain a new IP address when reconnecting to the lab network.
