weird characters inside dhcp hostname

Fri Jan 09, 2015 10:08 pm

Hi, I connected a NAS Zyxel NSA310S to my mikrotik (RB2011, v. 6.10) and when I tried to make static the dhcp lease Webfig crashed and I was logged off with internal server error (I've done it without problems for other devices). Then I stopped seeing the lease in Webfig, and I need to logout/login.

Then I've seen, connecting in a terminal, that my NAS advertise as hostname "NSA310S\00" . My terminal shows \00 as violet text, seems that's a weird escape sequence, and that's what make webfig crash. I've done the static lease inside terminal and it worked.

Seems I've no way to change that hostname (even changing NAS server name inside its configuration doesn't change that dhcp hostname...).

I'll try asap to upgrade 6.24, but in the meanwhile can you tell me if this is a known bug?
