Bad boy Warrior Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Ive not really used DHCP a lot but understand how it works to an extent hence the weird question. My question is when i open up a DHCP console and expand all the way until i get to reservations i see no PCs/Printers listed. Looking at the Address Lease section i notice some PCs have a picture of a PC with a fountain pen over it - Does this mean the PC has a static IP? As when i set up my own PC to have a static IP it shows up in Address Lease with the same icon but also in reservations?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Static IPs can be done two different ways. You can set the IP on the client, but it won't appear on any of the pages on the Server. Or if you set a reservation (aka static via DHCP, the client still acts like it doesn't have a static IP) it does show up in both places. I think the "pen" on the icon either means that the lease is active (within the lease time from which it was granted) or the interface is currently online.
