Facing issues with DHCP and multiple APs.
-
Hello, I have a fairly simple setup going on, however I am facing a strange issue.
See, whenever I have 2 APs connected to the same switch connecting to the pfsense router, DHCP seems to stop working for devices that cannot randomize their MAC address, and then after waiting for a good while it works.
Trying to set a static IP from on the device leads to the same problem but with ARP instead.
I was hoping someone would help shed some light on this issue as I have been facing it for a while now to no avail.
All switches are dumb switches.
Pfsense is running virtualized in Proxmox, but I was facing the same issue with the same setup before migrating to Proxmox.

@TheAmongler what version are you on? There was a DHCP bug in 23.09 that caused repeated entries. Fixed in .1 and 2.7.2.

@SteveITS Thank you for your response.
I was on 2.7.0 but updated to 2.7.2 and switched to the new DHCP backend but same exact issue still persists. -
@TheAmongler FWIW I would wait until Kea is out of preview as it has numerous limitations still. But for plain DHCP it should be fine.

@SteveITS Sadly same issue on the old backend as well.
