7.4 DHCP Server Status
The DHCP option in the SatLink web interface provides information about the status of the DHCP server
and the DHCP client table, such as DHCP status, Server IP address, Server IP address range, Number of
IP addresses excluded, Lease time and Excluded IP address range. Select the DHCP option in the SatLink
web interface home page to open the DHCP Server Status page.
Figure 37: DHCP Server Status
Determines whether the DHCP server is enabled or disabled.
The IP address of the DHCP server.
The pool of IP addresses that the DHCP server can lease to the DHCP clients.
Number of IP
addresses excluded
The number of IP addresses that are not allocated from the server's IP address range. These
addresses are typically used for hosts on the VSATs LAN that require static IP addresses.
Excluded IP address
range
It is a subrange of the server IP address range, containing IP addresses that should not be
allocated by the DHCP server. This range is an interval; it is defined with the help of the
starting IP address and the ending IP address for the excluded range.
Time period for which an IP address is leased to a DHCP client
The DHCP client table shows information about the IP addresses that are currently leased from the DHCP
server: host name, IP address, MAC address, and lease time expiration. The DHCP server will only lease
IP addresses to the LAN hosts for 15 minutes until it has acquired the network time. The DHCP server
will apply the configured lease time when the network time is acquired.
