      I need static mapping in "Range" (not "Avalable range"), however PF can not this. How do I do? On windows server it is very easy, but i want do it on pfsense.

      Sample:
      Avalable range = 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.1.254
      Range = 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.1.200
      Need mapping XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX -> 192.168.1.21
      –-> "The IP address must not be within the DHCP range for this interface."  >:(

      Sorry for my google english.

        Just because Windows lets you do it does not mean it is a good idea to do so. Windows lets you do all kinds of idiotic things. I would change your range to 192.168.0.50 - 192.168.1.200 and let 1 - 49 be your reserved range (only for dhcp reservations). I am guessing that 1.200 - 254 is also a reserved range.

          What caused my inability to perform the desired operation in pfsense? Why do you think this is a bad decision?
