    I do not see a tab in the DHCP server for my second lan interface, even though the port is active and has DHCP set as the option for IPv4 on the interface settings. Any ideas?

      That turns the interface into a DHCP client, set the interface IPv4 to static IP and enter the network it should provide.

          Well /32 is a single IP not a network, use /24.

              It would be better if any disabled/unsuitably configured interfaces should show as grey on the DHCP server page, just to give the user a hint that they are there but are not ready to setup DHCP quite yet.

                @UnEsxi Very good recomendation. I´d like to add that a default selection of a /24 in the Interface configuration would also help.

                  I just stumbled over the same problem and could only solve by googling this post. It would be really helpful to have the /32 by default set to a /24 on a static IP - or to provide a hint message. (At least at a prominent place within the documentation)

                  Thanks!
