Want to change DHCP Domain Name
-
Desired result > Correct domain in dhcp.
Error1;
I made a mistake in my Domain Name for the DHCP. I added the suffix for pfSense when I shouldn't have. When I change it, pfSense stops working. There is no web gui, no internet, no dhcp until I restart the server. Then the setting isn't saved.Walk me through the steps and I'll tell you what I have tried and hasn't worked. I'm stumped.
I thought disabling or stopping DHCP would allow the change. Disabling = Error2. Stopping = Error3.
Error2;
Disable DHCP, get "Disable DHCP Registration features in DNS Resolver before disabling DHCP Server". So, I disabled 'DHCP Registration' and 'Static DHCP' in the resolver, produces error4.Error4;
Uncheck 'DHCP Registration' and 'Static DHCP' in the resolver, click save, click apply, returns 'The changes have been applied successfully'. Boxes are magically rechecked. In response I stop the DNS Resolver produces Error5Error5;
Click stop, apply, returns 'The changes have been applied successfully'… NOT stopped.. OK... In response I disable DNS Resolver, produces Error6.Error6;
Uncheck 'enable DNS resolver', apply, returns 'The changes have been applied successfully'. But it snaps back to checked and enabled.
END = Insanity.Error3;
Click stop button, stop button disappears. In this state changing the Domain produces Error1. In this state, attempt to uncheck 'Enable DHCP server on ARARO interface' produces Error2.System Log after attempts:
