Description

In Foreman's wizard for setting up provisioning, on page 2, "Network config" there are several fields labeled "optional" -- dhcp address ranges, gateway and primary dns. I've not tried omitting the primary dns, but omitting any of the other fields results in a syntactically invalid dhcpd.conf. For example, if you omit the address range fields, dhcpd.conf ends up containing:

range  ;

There are two fairly obvious problems here:

1) The wizard is incorrect, these values are clearly mandatory.
2) The cli tool is not checking its arguments carefully either -- the generated command should complain if it's missing an option that will be required to complete successfully.
