DHCP Client List
When a DHCP server is enabled on a network, each device (also
called a client, which can be a desktop computer, notebook
computer, or another connected device) leases an IP address for a
specified period of time. The DHCP client list shows all the clients
that have an active lease on an IP address and the IP address and
MAC address of each client. The list includes any device with an
active lease, even if that device is no longer actively connected to
the network. A client is removed from the DHCP client list when its
lease has expired. The network can support up to 253 clients at
one time.
You can specify the IP address lease time from the Local Area
Network page of the Base Station Management Tool. For
information about how to do this, see “Local Network Settings” in
this chapter.
The DHCP client list is relevant to your network only if you have the
DHCP server enabled on the base station. For information about
how to enable or disable the DHCP server, see “DHCP Server” in
this chapter.
