Diagnostics: DHCP Leases

craibo

I assign static IP's to all users on the network and i'm adding and removing them on a fairly regular basis. Once i've Applied the changes to the DHCP the DHCP Leases (Status->DHCP Leases) shows everyone as being online rather then before where it shows who is online and who is off line. I have tried restarting the DHCP service but has no effect the only way I can get it to work is by reseting the Firewall.

Is there anything that i've missed??

This is a silly bug just pointing it out so don't stress!!

Thanks Tim

P.S pfsense is working amazingly for me thanks alot to the whole team.

How do you assign static IPs?
Do you set them on the client or do you assign static DHCP leases from the DKCP leases tab?

Anyway, once a DHCP lease is assigned to a MAC address, pfSense saves the info and does not forget about it.
Here's the info on why and how to get rid of them again: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,5231.msg41202.html#msg41202

AFAIK, down the road SUllrich wants to delete the entries when assigning a static lease. For now you've got to do it manually.

I assign them from the DHCP leases tab.

Its not gettin rid of them that is the problem. Its that once i modify one of them i can no logner see who is online or not because they all say online.

Did you clean /var/dhcpd/var/db/dhcpd.leases~ and /var/dhcpd/var/db/dhcpd.leases as suggested in the linked thread?
The problem should go away then.
