cax30 - dhcp reservation 0.0.0.0
Im trying to set a DHCP reservation for a MAC from a dell PC. However no matter what value I input for the IP the user interface resets the IP to 0.0.0.0 after hitting the "add" button.
Found the solution.
the IP must be in the DHCP range. my range happened to start at x.x.x.100 to x.x.x.253.
I wanted a reservation of x.x.x.50. that didnt work
however
inputing x.x.x.150 DID work.
:smileywink:
Ya, would be nice...
Glad you got it working.

Why? Around here (D7000[v1], V1.0.1.78_1.0.1), that would be
considered a firmware bug.
My DHCP pool range is ".224" - ".239". I have 23 address
reservations, all of which are outside the pool. I also have some
devices with static (ex-pool) addresses.
Obviously, there's no compelling reason for such a restriction.

Not what I'd call a "solution".

I'd say, "Too bad the (unspecified) firmware's defective."
