As noted by @ted-miller in https://github.com/Yaskawa-Global/motoros2/discussions/238#discussioncomment-9159344:

Although DHCP is setting the controller IP to 10.1.1.x, MotoROS2 is reading the values that were input in Maintenance mode.

If you change these values in maintenance mode to be on the 10.1.1.x subnet, it will get rid of the alarm.

We generally don't recommend DHCP for robotic systems since the robot needs to definitively know the address of the agent PC.
