Changing DHCP Settings brings down PPPoE connection

[tescophil]

Hi,

I recently changed broadband providers and was able to go back to using a VDSL modem connected directly to Untangle using a PPPoE connection. This has been working without any issues.

However..., under Config -> Network -> DHCP Server if I make any changes eg. Delete a static DHCP entry, or add a new one it brings down the PPPoE connecting as soon as I hit save, and its over a minute before the 'Settings Saved' message appears, during which time the WAN is off line, and has to be re-established.

This is barking..., what's going on ?

Is no one going to reply to this ???

I am using VDSL / PPOE Connection as well.

In my experience any changes in Config -> Network bring down the PPPoE connection. Every single time.
Changes anywhere else (e.g. Apps) mostly don’t effect the PPPoE connection, but on regular occasions my connection goes down there too.

Besides that it is very annoying for VoIP and streaming, I get assigned a new IP-address every time. So that makes remote configuration quite a hassle.

I just started with Untangle last week. So my hope is that this could be fixed.

Yes, if network settings are changed, then network must restart to read the new settings.

Yes, this is by design. Any change to anything on the networking tab resets the networking service. This restarts all the VPNs, reinitializes every interfaces, and forces PPPoE interfaces to reauthenticate.
