      Hey guys, running into a small problem allowing my wife's IT team's setup to co-exist with our fancy new PfSense setup. Its just about the IP scopes we use in house vs what they use in house.

      Currently, my network exists on 192.168.1.X - 192.168.3.X where 1.X is my LAN side and 2.X-3.X is my IoT side).

      I have HUNDREDS of reserved DHCP clients and id prefer to not have to re-write the entire reservation table. is there any "easy" tool to use to convert all of those IP reservations to, say, 10.10.1.X-10.10.3.X (just an example).

      thanks in advance

        @menethoran They're in the config file...you could save/export that, do a search and replace in the file, and then restore. (Which will reboot.)

        Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to reboot, or more depending on packages, and device or disk speed.

            I'd recommend something in the 172.16 range. That isn't used very often, whereas 192.168 & 10. are.

            PfSense running on Qotom mini PC
            i5 CPU, 4 GB memory, 32 GB SSD & 4 Intel Gb Ethernet ports.
            UniFi AC-Lite access point

            I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...
