Bug: Changing the NTP setting in the new UI did nothing. Now it does.
Feature: Add 'continually' mode which is traditional always running NTP.
Dont use on nodes with limited RAM.
* Add missing required fields to static WAN setup
* Dont display 'null' for missing wan fields
* Provide default static wan addresses otherwise the new UI cant set them
The UI uses opkg to check package status which can cause a lock clash
if the reinstall script is running. Retry opkg commands in the script
if this happens, and also avoid reading package status in the UI until
the reinstall is complete.
* First draft of advanced DHCP option specification on Ports tab.
Allows the node administrator to specify additional DHCP options that
will be supplied to LAN clients in specific circumstances. This change
adds two tables to the Ports configuration tab.
The "Tags for Advanced DHCP Options" table allows the administrator to
specify DHCP tags that will be assigned to clients that identify
themselves with specific values for properties such as Vendor Class or
MAC address.
The "Advanced DHCP Options" table allows the administrator to specify
arbitrary DHCP options to send to any client, or only to clients with a
specific tag. Option numbers can be entered directly or chosen from a
list of well-known options. Option values are manually entered by the
administrator.
In-browser validation is implemented for all input fields with easily
recognizable content such as host names, MAC addresses, and port and
option numbers. Placeholders are also supplied for input fields, such as
MAC addresses with wildcard matching, that might otherwise be difficult
to describe.
Issues with the current version:
- Sending DHCP options not requested by the client is implemented using
the dhcp_option_force UCI configuration option, but does not currently
work.
- Tagging by client host name is supported by dnsmasq, but not yet by
UCI.
- DHCP option values must be entered manually by the administrator, but
are not currently validated.
* Better validation, placeholders, and hints for existing input fields.
* Remove junk accidentally inserted in comment.
* Preserve Advanced DHCP options across updates.
Added a comment at the top of /etc/config.mesh/network to inform node
admins how to override the network configuration for unusual and unique
network configurations. See issue #995 for explanation of when overrides
may be useful.
