DHCP relay stopped working after changing interface and vlan name
0%
Description
Hi
Interface and vlan was named AP_HBV, so i changed it to VLAN528_AP_HBV.
Afterwards DHCP Relay didnt work.
To get it to work, i then went into DHCP Relay and unmarked all the interfaces, clicked apply. I then marked all the interfaces again and clicked apply.

Did you reassign/move the interface or only change its name? I can see how it might break if you changed the interface from, say, optX to optY somehow. But the settings are stored by the internal interface name, not the description you set, so changing the cosmetic "friendly" interface description wouldn't affect the daemon. You can also compare the working and non-working configuration files in the history and see what actually changed there.
There isn't really anything that DHCP relay could do to prevent you from removing or reassigning interfaces, so that's not really a bug. Follow up on the forum if there is more to this, if someone can identify an actionable issue, we can certainly attempt to address it.
