      Hello, How can i force remove a old DHCP server that was enabled on OPT2/3 before i deleted those interfaces but when i re-add them i get this error:

      The DHCP Server is active on this interface and it can be used only with IPv4 subnet < 31. Please disable the DHCP Server service on this interface first, then change the interface configuration.

      Please help, Thank you.

        @GameHoundsDev Pretty sure the default when creating an interface is /32, can you create it with a larger mask?

        Or if you’re familiar with XML, edit the config file by hand and restore.

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

            @GameHoundsDev On each service page there’s a curled arrow icon at the top of the page to restart the service.

              @SteveITS Sadly it only restarts the dhcp service for each dhcp server like if i restart it on lan it only affects lan correct?

                @GameHoundsDev I’m not sure actually.

                So it didn’t work recreating the interface with a /24 mask?
