Feature Request re: static lease duplicates(?)
« on: December 23, 2018, 10:52:49 pm »
Error "This Hostname, IP, MAC address or Client identifier already exists"
The error message implies that if any of those is duplicated, setting the static lease is prevented. 
  • If a box has both ethernet and wifi, and you try to set a static lease for both forms of connectivity, it balks when the second one has an identical hostname. Any box is not limited to a single ethernet port/card, nor wifi, and neither necessarily exclusive, so shouldn't it be possible to have multiple forms of connectivity?  I believe it should issue a warning note that a duplicate hostname was attempted, with a confirmation prompt whether to keep the duplication.
  • Feature req: (given the above is resolved to permit duplicate hostname)
    If the intent in the future is to reach a specific host through an IP, yes uniqueness is a good thing, but could it seek out an alternate IP/connection from those of the same hostname when one IP fails?
