You are right - the fixed IP addresses are delivered via the L2TP tunnel, and are independent of the DHCP assigned address that the Superhub gets. I believe that IP address is similar to the original 'sticky' IP addresses the old 10 Mb/s business service had. An earlier version of the firmware used to show those- but since you're in Modem mode you'll be using that one. Try an nslookup of it - y9u might see if of the form xxxx.static.virginmediabusiness.co.uk

The L2Tp tunnel will ensure you get your fixed IP address (or addresses) even if the DHCP assigned address changes. It also means they survive a node split. Previously there was a chance you could get new addresses following a node split.
