Title: No "exclusion pools" in the dhcp service
Post by: Medicineman25 on January 03, 2022, 01:35:40 pm
There doesn't seem to be an exclusion pool available. I am referring to use cases where it would be helpful to have known static ip addresses annotated somewhere in the interface.

Say for example, I have an address pool from .60/24 to .70/24 but I have a static address at .65/24 for one reason or another. I could add a dhcp mapping, but then that violates system as documentation principles.

I could allocate away from that address but sometimes that's not always an option. Yes we should all use netbox and I'll definitely get there, in the meantime even just a visible list of statically allocated addresses at the bottom of the manual allocation window would be a good interim measure.

Interested in thought and suggestions.
