- On-line configuration has some limitations. Adding new subnets or
- modifying existing ones work, as is removing the last subnet from
- the list. However, removing non-last (e.g. removing subnet 1,2 or 3 if
- there are 4 subnets configured) will cause issues. The problem is
- caused by simplistic subnet-id assignment. The subnets are always
- numbered, starting from 1. That subnet-id is then used in leases
- that are stored in the lease database. Removing non-last subnet will
- cause the configuration information to mismatch data in the lease
- database. It is possible to manually update subnet-id fields in
- MySQL database, but it is awkward and error prone process. A better
- reconfiguration support is planned.
