    Import lease list to dnsmasq.conf.add

    I have no idea why this never occurred to me lol. Still on a learning curve I guess. Okay, so moving forward, I will just do this in future. Thanks again man.

    I have YazDHCP installed but changed to using dnsmasq to overcome some character limitations in YazDHCP.

    Import lease list to dnsmasq.conf.add

    Or even better, if I need to nuke the router to factory settings, how can I stop network devices connecting and obtaining new/different ip's? I never really thought about this until I had to reset a router the other day and although I have a list in dnsmasq.conf.add, it wasn't loaded yet as the...

    Import lease list to dnsmasq.conf.add

    Afternoon, Is there a command or script I can run on the router while connected over SSH (AC86U with latest Merlin), that will add the current full lease list into a formatted list in dnsmasq.conf.add? Thanks

    dnsmasq.config.add without ip?

    Hi, I have a question? I suppose I could just try it but I was wondering if I remove all the ip addresses from my dnsmasq.config.add file will the hostnames still resolve? For example: dhcp-host=macadress,hostname,ip becomes dhcp-host=macadress,hostname Reason I am asking is on the rare...

    IPv6 addresses on LAN but disabled in settings

    On the back of your posts and advice I found this too: In IPv4, link-local addresses are normally only used when no external, stateful mechanism of address configuration exists, such as the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), or when another primary configuration method has failed. So...

    IPv6 addresses on LAN but disabled in settings

    The devices have their own interface which can be accessed via a browser. The interface is saying that device is dropping packets. I went to learn wireshark to try and verify if what the interface was accurate but then thought maybe someone on the forums would know lol The devices work okay and...

    IPv6 addresses on LAN but disabled in settings

    From what you guys are saying, it doesn't sound like there is a problem. No worries, I totally get it and what your sayings, it's important for me to try and be as specific as possible as you guys probably don't have a crystal ball, but I'm not really understanding what is going on myself to be...

    IPv6 addresses on LAN but disabled in settings

    Sorry I did describe the problem in my first post, but not very well obviously. Some devices in my network are dropping Rx packets on the Lan and wan, all of the problem devices have local-link addresses and I believe this is somehow related to the Rx packets being dropped. Why do I think...

    IPv6 addresses on LAN but disabled in settings

    I have a couple of plug and play ethernet to usb devices on my network that have IPv6 enabled I'm sure, although they are not connected to the devices I don't want to have link-local addresses, could the ethernet to usb adaptors be causing the problem devices to get the link-local addresses do...

    IPv6 addresses on LAN but disabled in settings

    I am understanding this correctly? The devices starting with fe80 are link-local and instead of those devices using the router to get their IPv4 address, they are using some other device on my network that has IPv6 enabled to get that fe80 address and I need to find that device, disabled IPv6...

    IPv6 addresses on LAN but disabled in settings

    Morning, I have several devices on my network that seem to have IPv6 addresses and those devices are also dropping Rx packets on the Lan and sometimes on the WAN. Well when I say dropping packets, I'm still very early days with wireshark so can't confirm if the packets are actually dropped or...

    Issue with DNS or something else?

    Morning! Sorry, trying desperately not to ask too many questions, but..... I have added all the ips and host names to hosts.add (may change the file name at some point) but its working great and I can reboot the router/access points and after they have rebooted I can ping any host name on the...

    Issue with DNS or something else?

    What can I say ColinTaylor, but thank you for taking the time to answer all my questions and explain all this. It's very much appreciated. I tend to use the search bar for most things and I can see you regularly post on DNS related threads stretching back years, so thanks again for your valuable...

    Issue with DNS or something else?

    Morning, sorry had to get some sleep last night, up at 6am. Can I translate what you said there into user perspective, just so I fully understand what's going on in my network? Where to start?..... If I use the routers GUI to manually assign ip's and hostnames, the router adds the host names...

    Issue with DNS or something else?

    I had all my devices manually assigned on the routers GUI, but I had an issue where I wanted to start using host names, so I added about 200 host names to the GUI, then ran into the host name character limit in the hardware. I then moved all the manually assigned devices to dnsmasq.config.add...

    Issue with DNS or something else?

    Sorry I should probably have mentioned there is nearly 100 devices went into this state this afternoon and im trying desperately not to reboot them and instead find the cause of why they got like this. You got me thinking. Yesterday I had the full network online, all looked well, no errors...
