Edit DHCP Reservation doesn't

Open ljlongwing opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Using 0.6.15-30eaa09f I created a DHCP reservation using F0-2F-74-21-58-22 format, which it seemed to accept and recognize the vendor and such, but when that NIC tried to get a DHCP, it was recognized as f0:2f:74:21:58:22 instead, and not given its reservation. When I go to try and 'edit' the current registration the title of the window that comes up is 'Update Zone', and all of the fields are blank, so there is no way for me to exit existing records.

Thanks for reporting this, the format is purposefully not validated as some clients (mostly linux with netplan) don't use a mac address as DHCP client identifier

My point was that it recognized it as a MAC and even reported the vendor that produced the MAC, but when the client authenticated with the same MAC, but in a different format, it didn't provide the proper reservation. If it knows it's a MAC, and the client provides a mac as client id, I would hope/expect the DHCP to provide the reservation that's specified with that MAC....but it didn't.
