The Local Network Tab
The Local Network information that is displayed is the local MAC address, IP address, subnet mask, DHCP server status, and DHCP start and end IP addresses. To view the DHCP Clients Table, click the DHCP Clients Table button. To view the ARP/RARP Table, click the ARP/RARP Table button.
DHCP Client Table. The DHCP Active IP Table shows the current DHCP Client data. You will see the computer name, IP address, MAC address, and expiration time of the dynamic IP address for the clients using the DHCP server. (This data is stored in temporary memory and changes periodically.) Click the Refresh button if you want to refresh the displayed information. To delete a client from the DHCP server, select the client, and then click the Delete button. Click the Close button to return to the Local Network screen.
ARP/RARP Table. The ARP/RARP Table shows the current data for the local network clients that have sent an ARP request to the Gateway. You will see their IP addresses and MAC addresses. (This data is stored in temporary memory and changes periodically.) An ARP request is a request sent by the Gateway asking clients with IP addresses for their MAC addresses, so the Gateway can map IP addresses to MAC addresses. RARP is the reverse of ARP. Click the Refresh button if you want to refresh the displayed information. Click the Close button to return to the Local Network screen.
