23.7 Legacy Series / Re: GUI not accessible after IP change
« on: April 18, 2024, 06:36:33 pm »I should be able to change the IP address and the dhcp server serves up the new address to the computer. No issue if I nuke the LAN interface and make a new LAN interface.And it does. But dhcp is a pull not push operation. That's why we need to either request a new ip from your client, or change the static to the new one.
It’s not an issue on other routers. Can change the IP address and still can access the GUI. Just on OPNsense.Really? This is networking, not OPN specific.
I had to restore the config.xml through the serial port since there was no other way to get back the GUI. I could not even get back service doing a factory restore or by changing back the IP address on the opnsense-shell program. Really shouldn't be this hard.
