Solutions for importing DHCP static assignments
-
I'm new to pfSense, and went looking for a solution for managing DHCP static assignment. Here are the solutions I found from Reddit, Github, and Netgate forum searches. If I had found Uproot before I wrote my own I probably would have tried it out.
Bulk DHCP entries import for pfSense
.csv to pfSense to .xml and then hand edit into the backup config.xml. Ruby
From https://github.com/cmer/pfsense-bulk-dhcp-importdhcpd_to_pfsense

Excel (.xlsx to .csv) to rebuild of the dhcpd-backup.xml and reload into pfSense. Windows PowerShell

uprt (uproot) is a multi-platform (Windows, MacOs, and Linux) command line utility to convert static leases between routers. Dart
From https://github.com/GeekVisit/uproot/dhcpcsv2pfsense - Merge DHCP static assignments .csv data into pfSense DHCP Server config file
My solution… Masters the static assignments in a .csv file and merges them completely into the pfSense dhcpd-config.xml. Python
