System and method of providing a policy-based enterprise static identity assignment

A system for managing addresses for a device, the system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to be configured to:
• receive, at a network component of a network, data regarding a device during an established communication session between the device and the network;
• perform an analysis of the device based on the data or traffic associated with the device observed during the established communication session;
• based on the analysis, determine that the device requires a change in Internet Protocol (IP) address assignment from dynamic to static and trigger a request to an address management system for the network;
• reprovision, based on the request, a subscription profile for the device with a selected IP address and a corresponding static address assignment characteristic to be used by the device to obtain a reprovisioned subscription profile;
• deregister, based on the reprovisioned subscription profile, the device from the network;
• reconnect the device to the network;
• and
• assign and transmit the selected IP address to the device.
