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
