It would be nice if the user could enter a static IP number in the configuration menu

Below is a generic example in Python to illustrate how you might achieve this:

# Sample configuration menu function

def configure\_application():  
print(“Configuration Menu:”)

```
# Other configuration options...

# Prompt user for static IP
static_ip = input("Enter static IP address: ")

# Save the static IP to configuration
save_configuration(static_ip)

print("Configuration saved successfully.")

```

# Sample function to save configuration

def save\_configuration(static\_ip):  
# You can save the static IP to a configuration file, database, or any storage mechanism  
# Here, we’ll just print it for demonstration purposes  
print(f"Static IP saved: {static\_ip}")

# Example usage

configure\_application()
