      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.

        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 reboot, or more depending on packages, and device or disk 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?
