in thread Is it possible to take the IP address from a file and assign it to LAN interface for certain period of time

Even with a "static" IP, the IP address isn't assigned to the interface when turning on the computer. It's during the boot process that the address is assigned - be it by DHCP, or read from a configuration file. Static here just means that the local policy says your interface will be assigned the same IP address.
