--header "X-Auth-Email: <EMAIL>" \
--header "X-Auth-Key: <API_KEY>" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data '{
  "lan": {
    "static_addressing": {
      "dhcp_server": {
        "dhcp_pool_end": "<IP_ADDRESS>",
        "dhcp_pool_start": "<IP_ADDRESS>",
        "dns_server": "<IP_ADDRESS>"
