Foreman vs ISC DHCPd on Debian

Support
1

Problem:
Foreman proxy hangs trying to use omshell to configure new leases. Problem seems to be in the
dhcpd.
Expected outcome:
Working new leases
Foreman and Proxy versions:
3.7.1 both
Foreman and Proxy plugin versions:

Distribution and version:
Debian Bullseye
Other relevant data:
Maybe kea is the way. While not all features are usable in the free version there is a working API.

Can you provide some context, like the commands that are sent and hanging? Without logs it’s hard to say what’s going on.

DHCP Server is running

I try to create a new vm which needs a new DHCP-Lease Reservation.
