Released

A lease was previously assigned to the given client, but that client has proactively

released it. A lease in this state will remain for a 1 hour grace period, after which it is

deleted. If the same client requests an IP address before the lease is deleted, it will be

given the same IP address previously served to it.

Unavailable Address

A lease was offered to a client, but that client actively declined to use the IP address.

Typically this is because the client determined that another host on the same subnetwork

is already using that IP address. Upon receiving the client's decline message, the DHCP

server will mark the address as unavailable. The lease will remain in this state for a 4

hour grace period, after which it is deleted. This status may also occur if the DHCP

server determines that the IP address is in use before it offers the address to a client (see

the DHCP server setting Check that an IP address is not in use before offering it).

Manage Mesh networks

Digi provides several avenues for managing Mesh networks and the ZigBee devices in the

Mesh Network:

From a ConnectPort X device’s web interface. This section focuses on this
interface.

From a ConnectPort X device’s command-line interface. See"Commands for
managing Mesh networks and nodes" on page 202.

From Connectware Manager’s Mesh Networks view. See "Monitor/manage
