I'd like to use PXE boot on my OPNsense box to install desktops on my network. To test this, I have a desktop connected directly to my firewalls LAN interface. While it has a static address now, it needs to be able to get a DHCP address for PXE, so I set the options on the Services -> DHCP -> Server -> LAN page as best as I know how and clicked the "Start Service" button in the upper right corner.
A dialog with the title "Please wait..." and a progress bar briefly appears then vanishes, and the status indicator is still red and showing "dhcpd Service is Stopped". I tried rebooting the firewall but that didn't help. Any idea why it's doing this and how I can find more info about it?
EDIT: I ultimately decided to start fresh, and the DHCP server worked as expected on a new install.
There should be a hint in the DHCP log which you can access from the GUI. If not please post the steps to reproduce, it's not possible to extrapolate from your post.
