How to refresh an interface?

techtwo

Working with an XG install on hardware, I've been around a bit and have a few installs of UTM 9 running at various homes so I'm familiar with Astaro... Sophos.

I can't find an option to refresh the dhcp on an interface. Meaning I want the XG to make a new dhcp request from the WAN interface to the modem. The only way I can see now is to reboot the hardware.

    The other option I use is to open the WAN interface and save it.
