      I have assigned on of my network ports to an interface, configured a DHCP server on it.
      For testing purpose i have connected my pc directly to the port.
      In the Pfsense dashboard i see the interface coming online, but the pc does not get an IP address assigned (it gets an APIPA address)
      DHCP server is enabled and set to allow all clients and has an available range setup ; 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.254
      tried ipconfig /release and renew but PC does not get an IP

      Not sure what i misconfigured .....

        @a1aba Does the pc show the interface is up? Maybe it's not linked?

            @a1aba You're gonna have to show some pics.
            Are you sure you're plugging into the correct interface?
            If you assign a static address on the same subnet, does it connect?
