7.4.2. Active Leases
Attention!
Figure 48: Active Leases
When a client received an IP Address from the DHCP server, it has a Lease on this address. This
is active for a given time, and the client may request to renew this lease. Clients with a lease are
listed for informational purposes.
To have a Hostname appear in the list the client transmits its name, or the client is from the list
of known clients. Otherwise that eld is just empty. Also listed are IP Address and MAC-Address,
followed by the Leasetime remaining.
7.4.2.1. Automatic Detection of local Devices happens under a few restrictions. If a device
uses static IP Address conguration, it will not send a request to the DHCP server. So at rst the
server has no knowledge about that device. But the server monitors certain local network trac,
and will detect static devices when they become active on the network. These are added to the
list of Active Leases for information. Since This page displays many information for reference.there
can't be a name there is a question mark, and the Lease information is not DHCP.
7.4.3. Static Leases
Figure 49: Static Leases
The Static Leases are the methode to congure the list of known clients. The button [Add] creates
a new entry in the list, with empty values.
