      Hi,

      I am using v.2.3.2, but since 2.1 (I guess) I have an issue on DHCP Server.

      I use only static leases in my LAN. Each station has it IP assigned on DHCP server, so if I need to take it to another place, I just change the IP on the DHCP server.

      So, the main issue is: if I add a new entry on DHCP server, or even modify an existing one, it will only work if I reboot PfSense. Even manually restarting the DHCP service won't work. If I modify an entry, the computer will still get the old IP address. If it is a new computer on the network, it will never get an IP from DHCP ("Only the clients defined below will get DHCP leases from this server." is marked).

      I try to check System Logs before reboot, and on DHCP tab shows "no free leases". But all of them are static leases. I kept the DHCP Range in a few addresses so I can add those static leases, as pfSense doesn't allow to put the static entries between the range.

      I seriously don't know what else to try.
