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.

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.
