Disabling the DHCP Conduit settings via the API.

[Ajay K]

We are trying to disable the DHCP settings via the Conduit collections endpoint API. We are able to retrieve the settings, however when we attempt to update the settings, using the http “PUT” method, since its an update to an existing setting, we are getting http error 404 error. Any ideas as to why this may be the case or is the update of DHCP settings via the API not supported?

Here is what we retrieve while making a get request using the following URL:
https://192.168.2.1/api/dhcp. In the below JSON, all we are doing is updating the value of the enabled property on the dhcp6s and dhcps collection to false and submitting the JSON back to the conduit.

{
   "code" : 200,
   "result" : {
      "__v" : 2,
      "dhcp6s" : [
         {
            "domain" : "",
            "enabled" : true,
            "fixedAddresses" : [],
            "interface" : "br0",
            "leaseTime" : 86400,
            "leases" : [],
            "maxLeases" : 200,
            "mode" : "STATELESS",
            "modeRA" : "STATELESS",
            "options" : [ "dhcp-authoritative" ],
            "rangeEnd" : "",
            "rangeStart" : "",
            "subnetPrefix" : "",
            "subnetPrefixLength" : 64
         }
      ],
      "dhcps" : [
         {
            "defaultGateway" : "192.168.2.1",
            "domain" : "",
            "enabled" : true,
            "fixedAddresses" : [],
            "interface" : "br0",
            "leaseTime" : 86400,
            "leases" : [],
            "maxLeases" : 200,
            "options" : [ "dhcp-authoritative" ],
            "rangeEnd" : "192.168.2.254",
            "rangeStart" : "192.168.2.100",
            "subnetAddress" : "192.168.2.0",
            "subnetMask" : "255.255.255.0"
         }
      ]
   },
   "status" : "success"
}

Thanks,
Ajay

Ajay,

You would need to PUT the entire “dhcps” or “dhcp6s” object with “enabled” changed as false to each of these URLS.

PUT https://10.17.100.138/api/dhcp/dhcp6s/0
PUT https://10.17.100.138/api/dhcp/dhcps/0

Or delete them

DELETE https://10.17.100.138/api/dhcp/dhcp6s/0
DELETE https://10.17.100.138/api/dhcp/dhcps/0

Hey Jason,

Thanks a lot for your timely response. When you say to include the entire object, i.e.in addition to the enabled property I would need to include all the other properties as well in the request JSON object?

Thanks,
Ajay

[Ajay K]

Thanks Jason, I got it working with the complete object.

Would disabling the dhcp6s and dhcps, prevent me from connecting to the conduit using the IP 192.168.2.1? I can no longer connect to my conduit after disabling the DHCP.

Thanks,
Ajay?

[Jason Reiss]

Yes and no. Disabling DHCP does not prevent access.
However it does disable the automatic settings your PC was using to connect.
The Ethernet settings will need to be set manually on your PC.
