Dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) is used by the SLC ConnectReach
system to dynamically assign IP addresses so PCs and other workstations can
connect to the network and perform common network functions without an
administrator having to assign IP addresses manually.
To see the currently assigned IP addresses and the medium access control
(MAC) addresses of the devices to which they are assigned, enter the DHCP
command at the statistics prompt. For example:
(statistics)> dhcp
The following is an example of a DHCP statistics report that will be displayed on
the PC monitor screen.
IP-address
168.192.100.11
168.192.100.23
This is a status report only; no errors are reported.
The hostname field will be hostname unknown if the SLC ConnectReach system
has been running for an interval shorter than the DHCP lease time.
The expired tag appears if the network application running on the client computer
allowed the DHCP lease to expire (usually because the computer was powered
off while the application was running).
