DHCP Mod to allow static mappings inside a DHCP range

Darkk

Cool idea. Can this be added as a package so anybody can use it?

the zip does not work ??? it says the archive is broken.

but this should totally be included in pfsense 2 release! lazy admins dont want to change files anytime ;-)

Features for 2.0 were frozen quite some time ago, and I'm not sure we'd take this. It's best as a package. It's not something that should be encouraged.

maybe you're right. so could someone who knows how to make packages consider this mod?

have any others problems with this zip archive also?

Any comments, considerations, suggestions, etc are most welcome.

I'd reword it slightly to be more concise.

Allow DHCP Reservations with-in DHCP Range
Warning: Read this before enabling this option! Also before disabling this option, all DHCP reservations must be removed from with-in the DHCP Range.

WinZip:
error [C:<path>\pfSense_2.0_RC3_DHCP_Mod.zip]: start of central directory not found; Zip file corrupt.
Possible causes: file transfer error.</path>

Sorry folks, I didn't notice the zip got corrupted while uploading.

Anyway I had to update the diff files since the original php files changed meanwhile.
I uploaded a new zip file and everything should be fine now.

He's absolutely right but at the moment I do not have the time to learn how to build a package and do it myself.

Well, it's a looong warning! lol For the time being I didn't change it. Maybe some other time.
"DHCP Reservations" would not be a good rewording as they are not reservations but static mappings.
Otherwise, if they were reservations indeed, the problem wouldn't exist in first place.
Also the static mappings don't need to be removed necessarily. They can simply be edited so they don't overlap the pool.
Anyway I must agree that a rewording should/could be done.

thanks for reupload, but for me the new archive is still broken :-\

maybe you should choose another way to upload the file e.g. mediafire.com?

Huh… Don't know what to say. I just downloaded it, renamed the extension from "txt" to "zip" and everything's fine.
Nevertheless I added a rapidshare download link. Try that one instead.
