DHCP-client-status

Statistics about the DHCP client (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). During the initial configuration, a LANCOM seeks a DHCP server via DHCP and requests an IP address from it. The LANCOM will respond to this IP address from now on. A new LANCOM router will thus have its place in the network assigned to it, and it can be found easily with LANconfig.

The DHCP client function currently only supports the most important function of IP address assignment. Extended DHCP functions such as the request of gateway, security and time server addresses are currently not implemented.

The menu has the following layout:

Status 'Idle' = DHCP client function disabled
'Bound' = has received valid IP address and is using it
Lease-time [seconds] Period of validity for the assigned IP address
IP address assigned IP address assigned by the DHCP server
IP netmask assigned Netmask assigned by the DHCP server
Gateway IP address IP address of the default gateway assigned by the DHCP server (currently not in use)
Server IP address IP address of the DHCP server in use
Security-server IP address of the default security server assigned by the DHCP server (currently not in use)
Time-offset (currently not in use)
Time-server IP address of the default time server assigned by the DHCP server (currently not in use)
Table-time-server IP addresses of the known time servers (currently not in use)
Table-router IP addresses of the known routers (currently not in use)
Table-name-server IP addresses of the known name servers (currently not in use)
Table-domain-name-server IP addresses of the known domain name servers (currently not in use)
Table-log-server IP addresses of the known log servers (currently not in use)
Configuration-file Name and location of the configuration file (currently not in use)
