fixes #786 - Add the option to use existing DHCP reservations

note that this patch only ensures that the ip used is the same as the
existing dhcp record.
if there is a mistmatch in what foreman expects in the reservation vs.
actual state, #944 should kick in.

History

Updated by Paul Kelly about 1 year ago

The system should check the current network databases and only perform the operation if this is required. It could also use this information to prompt the IP/mac/hostname
An easier option would be a reconciler page similar to Gini's that would let you a) delete b) leave alone c) sync Foreman to the network values.
