Duplicate DHCP Leases?
-
He still did not have a look at the config.xml for sure. Since there's no way the stuff would appear in the GUI unless it is in $config['dhcpd'][$if]['staticmap']

I can do that. If you hit the blue + with the white background from the DHCP Status screen which is what I initially did. I wanted to create a static mapping with the IP being within the pool provided by that DHCP server. I noticed that when you hit the + on either of these two boxes running at separate places is that at the top it says, "Services / DHCP Server / / Edit Static Mapping". It doesn't list the interface that it's adding the mapping to. You can see this in the example below of "DHCP Status - No Interfaces" that I attached.
On the other hand if you go to Services / DHCP Server / InterfaceName it shows the Interface name at the gray bar at the top. As shown in "Services - DHCP - Interafce is listed" that I also attached.
So back to how to repeat my steps.
Go to status DHCP leases, chose a victim device and use the Blue + with the white background, chose save. Apply the changes. At that point you will now see a DHCP Static Mapping with no IP address listed. You cannot delete it, and it doesn't show up on any of the DHCP Servers running on any interface.
Now if I go and create DHCP Static Mappings from Services / DHCP Server / InterfaceName it works fine and I can remove them from the same screen.
To answer doktornotor's post, yes I looked in the config.xml and yes I can remove them from there, but it occurs to me that if you can add it from the GUI you should be able to remove it from the GUI.

Screenshots censored to a new level!!! Lookie, now there's NOTHING shown, just the GUI menu and breadcrumbs. Are you dude kidding us? No idea what are you trying to illustrate, and as already noted above, noone can reproduce your problem. It either does not let you create the lease (presumably <=2.3.2), or redirects you to the DHCP server GUI and lets you create AND delete whatever you want, incl. a static lease with no IP specified (2.3.3+).

I'm showing you what I'm talking about. No reason to show the entire screen if it's not relevant to the conversation. If you aren't going to be helpful could you please go troll somewhere else?
Anyone have any suggestions as to how to get a moderator involved here? Besides hitting the report to moderator button?
-
You are so paranoid that you are even censoring the interface names. Need more tinfoil? Could supply some, delivery guaranteed before Xmas.
Dude, you have been confusing everyone with your censored, edited, whitespaced, photoshopped screens! Get PAID support if you do not wish to provide reasonable information on a PUBLIC forum.
-
@doktornotor I'm done responding to you. You're not helpful, you're down right abusive.
Huge props to JohnPoz for taking the time and listening and trying to help me.
Thanks Johnpoz!

So where the heck did your interface names go? The screenshots do not look like what you've shown on any normal system. There's interface name in the breadcrumbs. And interface name in the header below. What help you expect when you actively sabotage providing even the absolutely basic info?

dude showing us dhcp edit static mappings menu list is not really showing us anything.. Can you show us the lease your clicking the add static button on. So I deleted the existing lease I had with that same name for my other phone (just got a new one) Yes if I click into an existing lease to create a static it takes me me to the create static page - but you will notice its lists the dhcp server/interface that IP is in.. So my wlan is 192.168.2.0/24
So when I create the lease to create a reservation off the leases page, it takes me to that dhcp server edit static pages. So I then create the lease without giving an IP and it lists it there in the static leases for that dhcp server.. It will then not let me create another static lease with an IP for that same name.. Because a lease already exists with that name.
Your screenshot is not showing you what interface your on??? So is this lease your trying to create the static from a dhcp server that your no longer running?? See my screenshots when I click to add static lease from the dhcp leases page it takes me to the dhcp server that IP belongs too.
If I had to guess, you had an OLD lease that was for a dhcp server that was removed or disabled? Not sure I would call that a bug??
I would suggest you delete any old leases from dhcp servers that no longer on your system. And the try and duplicate.. Your saying when you click a lease that is within a dhcp pool of your dhcp servers it takes you to a create static page that does not list your dhcp server?? See the highlighted sections of my pics
BTW: Dok is a one of the good guys.. He is very helpful and very very knowledgeable not only with pfsense related but pretty much all things IT related.. His post can sometimes come off a bit gruff for those that have not been reading his posts for a long time ;) But I love is fun loving easy going demeanor.. And while he was on a break from this board, he was for sure missed by many of us here. And I for one am very glad he is back, and true to form posting in his straight to the point no holds bar blunt honest opinions that make it so refreshing than most of the drivel and pansy nonsense you read elsewhere. Most likely was tired of having to pull teeth for info, and tired of obfuscated nonsense like hiding a mac, or a rfc1918 address or a hostname when dealing directly with that sort of info ;) I would take his posts to heart, read them in the fun loving way he intends and you will for sure come away with loads of valuable info!!

This (Diagnostics => Command Prompt) provides a pretty readable overview of what's configured where
foreach ($config['dhcpd'] as $iface => $leases) { $ifname = convert_real_interface_to_friendly_interface_name($iface); $ifname = convert_friendly_interface_to_friendly_descr($ifname); echo "Static leases on $ifname ($iface):\n"; print_r($leases['staticmap']); }however since all this information is top secret classified stuff, we won't ever get the output anyway…
-
That is pretty slick dok! And would be very informative to see that output.. But like you said its all top secret.. The black helicopters are most likely circling our houses now for even seeing the redacted output he did post ;) heheeh
-
After going back and looking at my upload, I captured the same screen shot twice and for that I apologize. Please look at these two unedited screen captures.
As for Dok, you can be the smartest guy on the planet but if you can't interface with people you aren't going to get anywhere. Especially when you are trying to help. I work in the customer support industry as do most of us on this forum I'm sure. I have peers who can't relate nor talk to customers and then I have those peers who can. Those who can communicate and discuss issues with customers/client get higher marks and survey results and are much more respected by their clients and management then those who can't.
Not trying to slam you but just making an observation. You can catch more flys with honey then you do with vinegar.

What's up with that VLAN1_DBM_PC? It's not assigned, or what?
-
It is assigned. What I was attempting to point out was the blank interface at the top.
-
Ok that is weird, how come its not showing the interface its on in the top menu?
Don't you DARE try to change dok's style!! I agree many of here most likely work in the tech sector and have to put up with customers.. And have to play all nicey nice, etc. When most of the time you just want to scream through the phone listen up you F'ing Moron.. I can not make it any more clear.. Did you finish 3rd grade? ;)
The nice thing about public forums - is you don't have to pretend your talking to a 13 year old girl on her first period. You can be straight and to the point, and hopefully the other person is another techy person and gets it, etc..
I find Dok's posts refreshing and fun to read, you can only slap so much perfume on a pile of shit.. Its still going to be a pile of shit.. So its nice to communicate and exchange information without all the freaking honey and perfume stinking up the place. If its shit, then its shit - but atleast you know what your dealing with ;)
-
JohnPoz, I wish I knew why but I don't. Been blowing my mind though. I think that relates to the root of my issue.
-
So are they shown under the proper interface when using the above script?
-
I did try the above script but no I do not see those entries under any interface. Which is what's throwing me for a loop.
-
Well, then look at the config.xml. Your configuration just appears badly broken somewhere.
-
If they are getting put back on reboot.. Then they HAVE to be in the config xml.. But yeah I would look to see what is causing your dhcp servers static to not show its interface.
-
So looking at the config.xml for the DHCP section, which BTW: is very cool you can download specific sections (thanks doktornotor), I think I found a clue.
There is a <lan>section, <opt1>section, <opt3>section, and <opt4>section. . .
The ranges for <lan>and <opt1>are NOT exclusive, which I'm not sure how this could be the case. (Full disclosure I inherited this and it's sister box from another tech guy)
Those phantom entries which I cannot remove from the gui are under the <opt1>section, the static entries which are in the <lan>section are under the range that is showing up in the gui.
So since this is a production box, my question becomes, can I just remove that <opt1>section from the downloaded xml file and then upload it to the pfsense installation and in theory everything would work?</opt1></lan></opt1></opt1></lan></opt4></opt3></opt1></lan>
