Hotspot DHCP says I for invalid.. wont change.

RouterOS General

Version 2.8.22

4 port Dlink ethernet card

I had the DHCP hotspot working fine and someone just told me it stopped working so I checked it and the DHCP server for the hotspot is marked
I for invalid.

The POOL still exists and the Interface works and has the proper IP address on it but it still will not change status. I have disabled and re-enabled the interface and it just comes backs invalid.

The have removed the DHCP server and setup it back up and it says the same thing again. Invalid.

ANY IDEAS?

Thanks

UPDATE

Well I figured out why it says invalid but not WHY it says.

The Interface for the hotspot was also ina bridge group with a vlan and it did not like that. I dont know why but it did not. I took the bridge out and it is working now. What a pain. Does anyone know what the problem is?

if you’ve put the interface into the bridge then you should manually change DHCP server settings according the previous changes i.e. set interface=bridge_interf_where_ether_is_put
