DHCP Reservations List
This shows clients that you have specified to have reserved DHCP addresses. An entry can be
changed by clicking the Edit icon, or deleted by clicking the Delete icon. When you click the
Edit icon, the item is highlighted, and the "Edit DHCP Reservation" section is activated for
editing.
Number of Dynamic DHCP Clients
In this section you can see what LAN devices are currently leasing IP addresses.
Revoke
The Revoke option is available for the situation in which the lease table becomes full or
nearly full, you need to recover space in the table for new entries, and you know that
some of the currently allocated leases are no longer needed. Clicking Revoke cancels the
lease for a specific LAN device and frees 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.
Reserve
The Reserve option converts this dynamic IP allocation into a DHCP Reservation and
adds the corresponding entry to the DHCP Reservations List.
Go to the Start menu, select Run, type in winipcfg, and hit Enter. A
popup window will be displayed. Select the appropriate adapter from the
pull-down menu and you will see the Adapter Address. This is the MAC
address of the device.
Go to your Start menu, select Programs, select Accessories, and select
Command Prompt. At the command prompt type ipconfig /all and hit
Enter. The physical address displayed for the adapter connecting to the
router is the MAC address.
Go to the Apple Menu, select System Preferences, select Network, and
select the Ethernet Adapter connecting to the router. Select the Ethernet
button and the Ethernet ID will be listed. This is the same as the MAC
address.
