DHCP Renew button

EastCoastUser

I've seen posts in this forum saying that the Interfaces page in the GUI has a "Renew" button, which can be used for the WAN interface to obtain a new IP address via DHCP.

Where is this "Renew" button located?

I checked the Interfaces page and the WAN link-manager page (XG125 v20.0). These are both pages that should have a Renew button. But neither of these pages seems to have a Renew button. To perform a DHCP renew, I have to go to the Interfaces page and turn the interface off, and then turn it back on again. 

The CLI menu is worse. There is no way to configure the WAN interface at all. If you choose the "Interface Configuration" option, it skips the WAN interface and only allows configuring other interfaces. So it seems that the only way to renew the WAN port's IP address from the CLI is to reboot the appliance.

    That is a good question. In the meantime you can edit the WAN interface and then save it without changing it in theory should initiate new DHCP request. The other method is to disconnect your WAN cable for a short time.

    Saving without making changes doesn't do it. But if you change the method to static, and save it, and then change back to DHCP and save it again, that does it. But each interface also has a "Turn off" and "Turn on" option, so that's another method is to turn the interface off and back on. These methods are time-consuming because twice you have make a change and wait while the change is saved.
