DHCP Clients List
Figure 32 DHCP Clients List Screen
The DHCP Clients List provides details on the devices that are connected
to the LAN. The list is only created when the Gateway is set up as a DHCP
server. For each device that is connected to the LAN, the IP address, Host
Name, MAC address and Client Type of that device is displayed. As you
connect more devices to the LAN, the client list will grow to a maximum
number of clients, which is determined by the IP address range.
The Release button allows the lease time for the IP address that has been
issued to a device to be cleared. The lease time is set at 12 hours. If a PC
has been switched off, using the
Release button would allow the 12 hour
lease time to be cleared. The IP address would then be available for
another device if there were no other IP addresses available.
