DHCP Clients List
The DHCP Clients List provides details on the devices that have received IP
addresses from the Router. The list is only created when the Router is set
up as a DHCP server. For each device that is connected to the LAN the
following information is displayed:
■
IP address — The Internet Protocol (IP) address issued to the client
machine.
■ Host Name — The client machine’s host name, if configured.
■
MAC Address — The Media Access Control (MAC) address of the
client’s network card.
■ Client Type — Whether the client is connected to the Router by wired
or wireless connection.
As you connect more devices, the client list will grow to a maximum
number of 253 clients.
From this section of the screen, you can do the following:
■ In the table, check the Fix text box to permanently fix the IP address.
■ In the table, click Release to release the displayed IP address.
■
Click New to allocate an IP address to a MAC address. If you click
New, a screen similar to that shown in
Figure 28 will be displayed.
Enter the required details and click Apply to save your settings.
