No Web_GUI if LAN is DHCP and GUI only on LAN

Hi,

for a special case (frr/bgp) we allowed GUI only on LAN, for the first setup we used DHCP on LAN, with an address from our management network.
I was not able to acces the GUI.
Ping was Ok.

On the console I can see that 443 listen is:
tcp4 127.0.0.1:443
tcp6 ::1:443

But not on the LAN address.
I think that the DHCP address was not available at web_gui start.
An uggly situation.
Ok, I solved it by using a fixed address.
But still, it should also work with a DHCP address on that interface.

IMHO that should always be a Backup Configuration and not the Primary Configuration.

However since we are talking about a Router here then there is only the Primary Configuration.

The Backup Configuration can be the Serial Console or some kind of IPMI/iDRAC/iLO-like solution...
