Problem:

I have tried disabling firewall, restarting of system. Would appreciate if anyone can provide troubleshooting advice.

This is Bug #30962: dhcpd.conf file-ACLs are reset - Installer - Foreman which will be fixed in 2.1.4, as a workaround you need to ensure that the foreman-proxy user has read access to /etc/dhcp/ and /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf and restart the smart-proxy service.
