      Hello all,

      I recently upgraded to 2.6.0 and when I created a new VLAN (and assigned it to an interface with an IP address), the VLAN does not show up under Services/DHCP Server. The only interface that is shown is the LAN interface (no other VLANs that I have created).pfsense-vlans.PNG

      This worked fine in 2.5.2, but after the upgrade to 2.6.0, it seems to be broken.

      Any thoughts are appreciated!

      Thanks!

            @itgeek99 seems like you have defined your subnets as /32. Meaning it is not possible to run a dhcp service, since you have used the single available ip in the subnet.

              I made this mistake once too and it took me a bit to figure out, but the previous poster is correct. Change the subnet masks to something other than /32 and you will get the DHCP option available for that VLAN.
