Lewis,

In the set of commands you show below [I use them almost verbatim.],
there is the command that stops the DHCP Monitor.  [ dhcpmon -t ]

BUT, I have had problems trying to get the monitor back so it will
display the status, config, etc., of the newly started LAN1.  I've
tried specifying:
	 dhcpmon -i LAN1
but this seems to do absolutely nothing.

Can this be done?  What, if anything, am I missing?

TIA,
Carl
