DHCP-table

In the DCHP module, the 'DCHP-table' option allows you to verify (or look up) the assignment of IP addresses to the relevant computers. This table has the following layout:

IP-address MAC-address Timeout Hostname Type
10.1.1.10 00a0570308e1 500 ELSA new

O IP-address: IP address assigned
O MAC-address: Computer's Ethernet address
O Timeout: Time remaining until the assignment becomes invalid
O Hostname: Computer's name in plain text if it was transmitted in the request
O Type: This field contains additional information on the assignment.
The 'Type' field specifies how the address was assigned. This field can assume the following values:
o new: The computer has made its initial request. The DHCP server verifies the uniqueness of the address that is to be assigned to the computer.
o unkn.: While verifying uniqueness, it was determined that the address has already been assigned to another computer. Unfortunately, the DHCP server has no means of obtaining additional information on this computer.
o stat.: A computer has informed the DHCP server that it has a fixed IP address. This address can no longer be used.
o dyn.: The DHCP server assigned an address to the computer.
