Expert Configuration

In case the SpeedTouch™ DHCP server is running this table holds all leases which are assigned by the DHCP server to (accepted) DHCP clients.

Following lease parameters are shown :

Client ID:

The MAC address of the DHCP client.

Address:

The IP address leased by the DHCP client.

Pool:

The DHCP server address pool the lease IP address is taken from.

TTL:

The DHCP server lease's Time To Live (in seconds).

For a permanent DHCP lease, TTL displays infinite.

State:

The DHCP server lease state:

Free (in case of statically added DHCP leases):

Indicating unused DHCP server leases. No DHCP request from this particular Client ID has been received by the DHCP server (yet).

Used:

Indicating assigned DHCP leases. A DHCP lease has been assigned to this Client ID in the past (actually (Pool lease time)-TTL seconds ago).

As soon as a DHCP request is received, the SpeedTouch™ DHCP server will assign the IP address matching the DHCP client's identity to this client (e.g. in case of a renewal, or for static entries). If no pre-configured lease could be found in the table, a new lease will be created when the client's request is granted.

Existing DHCP leases can be made static (i.e. TTL infinite) by selecting the DHCP lease and clicking Lock.

DHCP leases can be added manually, e.g. for DHCP client devices that need a "static" IP configuration. You can also remove existing DHCP leases.
