Hi all, i just upgraded from 7.4 to 8.1 and was trying to experiment with SDN. If I add a Simple zone, i cant seem to turn on DHCP anywhere. I did install dnsmasq. It's like there is no dhcp plugin at all. What am I missing?
 
So the issue seems to be that the docs tell me to do the following:

apt update
apt install dnsmasq
systemctl disable --now dnsmasq

If I enable dnsmasq i do get the dhcp option. Why are the docs telling me to disable it?
 
Not sure how it's supposed to work but if I disabled it with that command I dont get the option to use dhcp at all. If I enabled it, it seems to work and containers/vms get ip through dhcp.
