DHCP Clients: leasing IP addresses.
Revoke: Click Revoke to cancel the lease for a specific LAN device and
free an entry in the lease table. Do this only if the device no
longer needs the leased IP address, because, for example, it
has been removed from the network.
Note: The Revoke option will not disconnect a PC with a current network session from the network; you would need to use MAC Address Filter to do that. Revoke will
only free up a DHCP Address for the very next requester. If the previous owner is still available, those two devices may both receive an IP Address Conflict error, or the
second device may still not receive an IP Address; in that case, you may still need to extend the "DHCP IP Address Range" to address the issue, it is located in the DHCP
Server section.
Reserve:
The Reserve option converts this dynamic IP allocation into a DHCP Reservation and adds the corresponding entry to the DHCP Reservations List.
