The difference may be that the previous network script created alias
interfaces, like eth0:0, eth0:1...

You could try to create an alias interface with systemd-networkd, and
assign that the static IP. But how to do this is currently beyond my
knowledge.

It's not that uncommon.

The device is using a DHCP relay/proxy towards the LAN side, and allows
both states at once. You configure a hard-coded subnet for diagnostics
pages, and DHCP gets routed through to the other side.

This means that his devices (linux machine) appear to themselves to be
on the open side of the network, (WAN) and not being NAT-ed at all.

So, it's para-bridging the interfaces and that's a perfectly valid thing
to do.

Changed to infinity and the error seems gone. Will keep monitoring for a
few days ..

Thanks guys!

It's not a matter for forwarding packets to a *router*.  I'm trying to
get packets to go to the cable modem, which listens on that 192.168.X.X
address - regardless of the actual public subnet


but i don't understand why it has a different IP address depending on 
the state of the WAN side - normally you talk to your modem over the LAN
