Local clients don't get Router / gateway address - intermittent

Could you or any other Netgate representative confirm that pfSense doesn't send gateway info when no WAN connection is up, e.g. when no WAN cable attached or service down?

This from the Netgate docs:
"DHCP also sends configuration information to clients such as a gateway, DNS servers, domain name, and other useful settings." See here.

I have a factory reset SG-1100 here with only LAN cable attached and my macbook gets no gateway info, just IP and DNS.

Just to clear things up: the issue has been resolved. I just still don't know what was going on. I manage two networks with Netgate 1100's and both were at 22.05 at the time and both exhibited this behaviour. After upgrading to 23.05 the issue was gone.
