Wie kann ich ein Static DHCP Lease löschen?

[klausdude]

Hallo zusammen,

gibt es eine Möglichkeit, ein statisches DHCP Lease zu löschen?

vg,
klaus

[superwinni2]

Auf deinen DHCP Server gehen, ganz nach unten scrollen und dort löschen?

Danke - vollkommen übersehen ...

  Vielen Dank! 

For those with even less German than mine:

Klaus wanted to know how to delete a static DCHP lease, which was almost the same as my question as a newbie in that I wanted to edit one I had created.

superwinni2 told him to scroll to the bottom of the DHCP lease page...

I imagine Klaus has the same confusion with the GUI as I did, in that to create the static lease you need to go to
Services>DHCPv4>Leases

Once created the lease shows up there, but there's no way of editing or deleting a static mapping on this page (though you can edit/delete a dynamic lease which is "active"). Indeed the only way to enter a static lease that isn't already active is to edit an active one!

What superwinni2 did was point Klaus, and now me at:
Services> DHCPv4>[LAN]

If you scroll to the bottom of that page the static leases you have defined are listed there with a nice <edit><delete> icons for you to use.

Why they don't appear like that on the actual leases page I have no idea as that would be more consistent and keep all the lease data in one tab.

Anyhow.....

Hopefully putting this information in English will help others too; as I couldn't find that in the documentation anywhere and I never thought to scroll the [LAN] tab to the bottom, so this post saved me from the hair tearing that's being going on the past couple of days

Because that's the "status" page and has no dealing with configuration. That's why they are on the bottom of the config-screen to edit, delete or duplicate at will

Also on the status screen the "delete" button on inactive leases may simply delete a (random given) lease so the device can get a new one after reconnection. So the delete button would be confusing as to "does it delete the lease OR does it delete a static mapping of said lease?"

Hope that helps fighting further confusion.

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate you taking the time, although I'm not convinced by the argument.

I still think that its inconsistent.
If there were a "lease configuration" tab and a "lease status" tab then I could possibly consider the argument that this was designed with a particular philosophy rather than evolved over time with development of the product.

From a interface design point of view
1. Having a tab called "[LAN]" which contains nothing, not even a blank placeholder, when there are no configured leases, and (which I can find) no way of creating a new static lease even when populated.

2. A tab called "Leases" which allows both static and dynamically allocated leases; the latter of which can be deleted or edited to be converted into static (or be edited to create new but different static rules).

Is not a clean differentiation of status and configuration as the current "lease" page is a mixture of the two, and the "[LAN]" tab doesn't allow all configuration options.

Given that there is a filter option on the bottom of the "lease" page (why filters aren't at the top is another UI mystery to me given the potential size of the list) that was where I looked to see if I could filter only on Static and get into an editing page since the "lease" page was the only place I had been able to create static leases.

If the reason for not offering an edit or delete button on static leases in the "leases" tab is confusion then a recycle button, a trash button and a pen button would be far less confusing than splitting the functionality over two tabs in my view.

Anyway this is off topic and I'm pleased I found the answer, and knowing that I can do what I need to. :-)

Thanks again all.
