5.2.4 Viewing Current DHCP Address Assignments
When the OfficeConnect Gigabit VPN Firewall functions as a DHCP server for
your LAN, it keeps a record of any addresses it has leased to your computers.
To view a table of all current IP address assignments, just go to the DHCP Server
Configuration page. A page displays similar to that shown in Figure 5.3; the
bottom half of the same page shows the existing DHCP address assignments.
The DHCP Server Address Table lists any IP addresses that are currently
leased to LAN devices. For each leased address, the table lists the following
information:

5.3 Configuring Fixed DHCP Leases
Fixed DHCP Leases are IP addresses assigned to hosts requiring permanent IP
settings. To configuring fixed DHCP Leases, you can follow one of the following
methods:
Manually enter fixed DHCP entry: You can manually enter information
about a network device.
Import discovered LAN hosts as fixed DHCP entries: The local
network is scanned using ARP requests. The ARP scan will detect
active devices that are not DHCP clients. However, sometimes the name
of the PC or device cannot be accurately determined, and will appear in
the database as Unknown.
5.3.1 Manually add a Fixed DHCP Lease.
To add a fixed DHCP Lease, follow these steps:
1. Enter the name of the PC or device.
2. Enter the IP address of the PC or device. The DHCP Server will
permanently reserve the IP address for the specified device.
3. Enter the MAC address of the PC or device. Please note that the
MAC address format is six colon-separated pairs of hexadecimal
characters (0-9 and A-F), such as 00:0D:31:45:17:1B.
4. Click button to add the new entry.
