Flint 4 - Not possible to add IoT & Guest Network DHCP Address Reservations

Router
1

Hi,

It seems that on 4.9.1 release that you cannot set DHCP reservations in the admin console for the Guest & IoT network. I have some IoT devices that are wonky so I like setting address reservations for them.

Please add this.

Thanks

You can do it from LuCI - Network → DHCP and DNS → Static leases

Or via SSH

uci add dhcp host
uci set dhcp.@host[-1].name="$name"
uci set dhcp.@host[-1].mac="$mac"
uci set dhcp.@host[-1].ip="$ip"
uci set dhcp.@host[-1].network="$network"

uci commit dhcp

/etc/init.d/dnsmasq reload

yes but it would be nice to do it in the normal GL admin console

Hi,

You can configure the address reservation directly from Clients → Reserved IP, as shown in the screenshot below.

After enabling it, you may see a yellow warning triangle next to the Reserved IP switch.
This is currently a UI display issue and does not affect the reservation itself — the configuration is still applied correctly.

Thanks, the option to set this in the subnets page is better as we can choose which IP to allocate to the device from the router.

Hi,

Thanks for the clarification.

If you would like to manually specify which IP address should be assigned to a particular device, you can currently configure it through LuCI → Network → DHCP and DNS → Static Leases .

We have also recorded your suggestion to allow address reservations to be configured from the Subnets page, and have submitted it to the relevant team for evaluation.

Thank you for your feedback and suggestion.
