Obtain admin IP via DHCP when WAN is disabled

Issue #120 resolved

rs232 created an issue 2021-04-16

As an additional modification to #102

I would also suggest to allow for devices in pure bridge/switch mode to be able to obtain an administrative IP address via DHCP

e.g.

‌

This is commonly found in enterprise solutions.

This would be fantastic.

I have discovered that without this capability, using Tomato as a bridge on Mesh (such as Google) does not allow for ports to be forwarded to Tomato, as it is not “seen” by the router, and so is not on the list to create forwarding.

‌

This means no SSH etc to the Tomato without some hoop jumping.

Agreed, and when eventually looked into this should be combined with #102 as they both cover the scenario when WAN is disabled.

It seems like we have a working script for this already: https://www.linksysinfo.org/index.php?threads/access-point-mode-with-dhcp-client-active.75521/#post-316488

@pedro311 This is actually already implemented and can be closed.

‌

I remember a commit from @M_ars although I can’t find it right now.
