Figure 5.20 DHCP server — list of leased and reserved IP addresses
Columns in this section contain the following information:
•Leased Address — leased IP address
•Lease Expiration — date and time specifying expiration of the appropriate lease
•MAC Address — hardware address of the host that the IP address is assigned to (including name of the network adapter manufacturer).
•Hostname — name of the host that the IP address is assigned to (only if the DHCP client at this host sends it to the DHCP server)
•Status — status of the appropriate IP address; Leased (leased addresses), Expired (addresses with expired lease — the client has not asked for the lease to be extended yet), Declined (the lease was declined by the client) or Released (the address has been released by the client).
Notes:
1.Data about expired and released addresses are kept by the DHCP server and can be used later if the same client demands a lease. If free IP addresses are lacked, these addresses can be leased to other clients.
2.Declined addresses are handled according to the settings in the Options tab (see below).
