I have update the firmware (leaving the configuration in place) to [generic-pc-1.34]. I have reduced the
Default lease time and the
Maximum lease time to their default values. I have also reduced the size of the DHCP range.
m0n0 currently has 355+ DHCP active and inactive leases. The system currently returns the diag. GUI. How many DHCP leases can I expect m0n0 to handle?
With a large number of DHCP client reservations, viewing this WebGUI status page causes the CPU to peg at 100% until the requested page fails (persumably due to a timeout). Should this be filed as a bug?
[generic-pc-1.33]
Edit: After our peak traffic hours today, m0n0 has 300+ active leases and 600+ active and inactive leases. Calling the WebGUI status page results in the CPU processing at 100% until the status page is delivered. While the CPU is maxed out, m0n0 continues to route traffic as expected. I have not attempted a DHCP request while waiting for the status page.
