I need assistance setting static IP for devices on my network in v.6

I installed v.6 update. I need to set static IP for several devices on my network. I no longer see the table that made this possible in v.5. Can someone please tell me how to do this in v.6?

In the pihole UI, click on "DHCP" under settings, then click where it says "Basic" in the top right hand corner (it will toggle to "advanced").

Once you have the advanced settings visible, scroll down to Static DHCP configuration.

Thank you very much for the reply. I had already gotten that far, what I don't understand is how I make an entry and how do I put it into Pi-hole? Is that some command line function? I am used to the table entry format of v.5 so this makes no sense to me. If you can't help, I understand. I am not even remotely adept at command line. I only know pihole -up.

The examples tell give good information on how to do this:

The most basic is shown first. For a device you want to assign a static IP, enter the device MAC address, followed by a comma, then the IP address you want to assign that device.
The second example allows you to assign a friendly name to device.
The third example shows you how to assign an IP address and a friendly name to a device at the same time.

No command line functions are needed, just use the web interface one line per static IP assignment.

Here's an example
(Obviously the red scrawl is to protect my MAC addresses)

Thank you so very much! Exactly what I needed! :+1:
