Configuring The Ip Address Server Options - Motorola Netopia Embedded Software Handbook

7-24 Administrator's Handbook
•
The ability to exclude one or more IP addresses from the address serving pool so the addresses will not be
served to clients.
•
The ability to reserve a particular IP address for a client with a particular Ethernet MAC address.
•
The ability to view the host name associated with a client to which the gateway has leased an IP address.
•
The ability for the gateway's Ethernet IP address(es) to overlap the DHCP address serving pool(s).
•
The ability to serve as a DHCP Relay Agent.
The Motorola Netopia® Embedded Software Version 8.7.4 supports reserving an IP address only for a type 1
client identifier (i.e., an Ethernet hardware address). It does not support reserving an IP address for an arbitrary
client identifier. (For more information on client identifiers, see RFC 2131, section 9.14.)

The following example shows the Served IP Addresses screen after three clients have leased IP addresses. The
first client did not provide a Host Name in its DHCP messages; the second and third clients did.

The rightmost column displays the host name supplied by the client if one was provided; otherwise it displays
the client identifier. (If a host name is displayed, the client identifier is still accessible in a Details pop-up menu.
