GT-BE98 PRO Manual Assignment Bug?

[stealurkill]

When using the manual assignment in the web GUI, is there a known bug that the last entry does not work? If i set manual entries, they all work up till the last one. Adding another, fixes the one before it.

GT-BE98_Pro-E450:/tmp/home/root# nvram show | grep -i dhcp_staticlist
size: 192429 bytes (69715 left)
dhcp_staticlist=<mac>192.168.1.1>>PIHOLE-1<mac>192.168.1.250>>QNAP-NAS<mac>192.168.1.2>>PIHOLE-2<mac>192.168.1.253>>SYNOLOGY-NAS<mac>192.168.1.5>>SERVER<mac>192.168.1.6>>StealUrKill_PhD<mac>192.168.1.7>>STEPH-OFFICE<mac>192.168.1.247>>GAMEROOM-AP<mac>192.168.1.248>>LAUNDRY-AP<mac>192.168.1.249>>REMODEL-AP<mac>192.168.1.12>>APPLE-WATCH<mac>192.168.1.13>>SAMMIE-P9P-XL<mac>192.168.1.17>>MB-SAMSUNG-TV<mac>192.168.1.21>>APPLETV-BEDROOM<mac>192.168.1.22>>SHIELD-MASTER-BED<mac>192.168.1.18>>LIVING-RM-TCL-65<mac>192.168.1.25>>SHARK-VACUUM

Everything before the Vacuum works. Adding another will make the Vacuum work but then that last one doesnt work.

Does the last entry show up in the dnsmasq.conf?

grep dhcp-host= /etc/dnsmasq.conf

Actually it does, and it seems like it started working after adding more. I assume the nvram dhcp_staticlist put this info in the dnsmasq.conf?

Yes, when dnsmasq restarts, it reads the nvram and populates the dhcp-host entries. There should be one for each entry if it’s working properly.

But it’s up to the client to renew the DHCP lease and get the new address. Some devices are more stubborn than others.

Thank you again.

Sorry for bringing up another topic, but is instant guard supposed to use the lan/dhcp dns server or the wan dns servers?

 

[stealurkill]

Nevermind. I see where its supposed to use the ipsec settings, which it does seem to use for the client ip address, but not the dns. will do some more digging.

its seems the instant guard uses the wan dns no matter what. changing the wan dns to the same as the lan dns works, just worried i might have issues with something. lol
