Deleting DHCP leases in the GUI
-
Easiest way to clear your DHCP leases is change the scope and then put the scope back the way it was.
-
Thanks, good tip but i think that a mod in the GUI with a button near each lease would be really more ergonomic.
Ergonomics is the basic function of a GUI interface.
Remove the GUI of PFsense, you still will be able to do everything at hand, but it will ask you between 5 and 20 times more time, and will be very error prone.

Agreed, i was just looking for this button today, and couldn't find it. I would also like to request this feature

same here

As I mentioned in this other thread started by djamp42, I'm working on this and one other DHCP lease-related issue.
-
There is a file posted in the thread I linked in the previous message which seems to work for everyone.
I've also got a patch about 95% done that will clear out existing leases for fixed-address/static definitions, so that we will no longer have warnings about duplicate leases from DHCP in the logs. I'll post that for testing when it's ready, too.
-
Attached are the two files I've been working on.
The first is what enables the individual DHCP lease deletion. I changed it a little from the one in the other thread, I moved the delete button to the end so it doesn't mess up the formatting of the buttons quite so much.
The second file will cause the DHCP editor to clear out leases automatically that match existing static DHCP mapped MAC addresses. This will stop DHCP from complaining about duplicate leases in the logs.
Both have been committed to 2.0, but with some testing I think there may be a case for bringing these into 1.2.3.
-
The lastest snapshot now have the ability to delete DHCP leases and it's working great. Although one quirk, I have alot of old leases in the "Show all configured leases" so when I go there and delete the lease it'll go back to the default display which is "Active and Static Leases Only". I then have to click on show all configured leases to continue deleting the old leases.
Shouldn't the screen I'm working on "stick" until I want to go somewhere else?
Thanks,

My 1.2.3-RC1 test box only has one lease in the file at the moment, so I can't properly test this, but try the attached file. It should (hopefully) retain the view.
-
Did anyone ever try this? Did it work?
-
i installed it back when you posted it and it worked nicely
-
Will the "fix" make it into the next snapshot?
-
Perhaps not the next one, or today, but we'll see.
There is still another bug I need to fix, and then I'll have to submit the patches again. RELENG_1_2's code is locked down so only a few people can commit there.
-
I checked patches into 2.0 for this and another bug, and submitted them for review to get into RELENG_1_2 (aka 1.2.3-RC)
I'll post another update if/when they make it.
-
Ok, the patches made it into RELENG_1_2 so they should be in the next 1.2.3-RC snapshot, or the one after.
If the builder had already started before the code went in, it may not make it in this run.
