      Hey all,
      pfSense is working well for me, I'm currently doing some cosmetics. So in the DHCP leases table, I see clients with
      IP/MAC address, hostname, description.

      The "description" field is empty for all clients that receive an IP address dynamically from the DHCP server. I'd like to change that, but I can't find how.

      I do know how to make static mappings - and then I can actually fill the the description field, but static is not what I want for most of the clients.

      Actually I don't think it's possible, this is what I read in the Netgate Docs:

      *"Leases

      The currently assigned DHCP leases are viewable at Status > DHCP leases. This page shows various aspects of the client leases. These include:

      The assigned IP address
      The client MAC address
      The hostname (if any) that the client sent as part of the DHCP request
      The description for a host with a DHCP static mapping
      ..."*

      This implies the description field is only there for static mappings.

      Just thought I'd ask anyway.

      Thanks!
