    2.7.1-RELEASE (amd64)
    built on Wed Nov 15 10:06:00 MST 2023
    FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT

    Afternoon, this is a fresh install of the current version and I'm unable to find how to enable hostname registration,because options are missing,

    however if I'm understanding this Note correctly, it only works if a hostname is specified in the DHCP request, and I'm not sure what/where this is, but assuming it means here,

    I use pfSense as my local DNS, how do I get this to work for this version?

      @nasheayahu If you’re using Kea it’s not a feature yet:
      https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/releases/2-7-1.html#kea-dhcp-server-feature-preview-now-available

      If you’re not then there’s a checkbox on the DHCP server options. Note it restarts unbound at every lease renewal.

      Pre-2.7.2/23.09: 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 restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

        @SteveITS said in No DHCP Registration / Static DHCP options for registering local hostnames?:

        If you’re using Kea it’s not a feature yet:

        Yes, I did not comprehend if it was not recommended during install. Thanks for the link, this explains it more clearly and I see I have the option to switch back to ISO DHCP until the Kea version is up to par.

        Thanks!....

          @nasheayahu, Don't use KEA DHCP. KEA is not production ready. The pfSense team should have never provided it in stable for 2.7.1. KEA should have been provided in a development branch until it is ready for stable.

          And ignore the warning pfSense is displaying to you about ISC DHCP. As you know, KEA is not ready for production, so you can't move away from ISC DHCP.
