How to get or set static DHCP MAC/IP/Hostname assignments #21

Closed 42Network closed 6 years ago

42Network commented 6 years ago

My apologies if this is the wrong way to ask a question or make a request.

Could your API be made to get or set static DHCP mappings in pfSense?

I have a CSV of mappings I'd like to import and then have pfSense maintain them, using the pfSense Web UI to add/delete.

I'd also like to export the current mappings to a CSV to upload into my remote WiFI access points (running Tomato) so their client lists will accurately reflect the IPs and hostnames of the connected clients.

Hi - happy to assist if possible

I'd like to break your request down into smaller parts first so it's more clear:- (a) you have a CSV list (perhaps large?) of static DHCP mappings and you'd like to migrate all these mappings to pfSense to then establish it as the source-of-truth for your DHCP mappings (b) you are wondering if pfsense_fauxapi can assist in this data migration task (c) you are wondering if pfsense_fauxapi can provide you a way to get at the data required to generate a CSV that you can then upload into some other network equipment

My sense is that yes you'll be able to achieve all this with pfsense_fauxapi by looking at the data returned by config_get and extracting/inserting data into the pfSense config this way - I've not taken a look at this in particular but it sounds feasible.

Yes, exactly right
