DHCP Server

These settings configured the settings of the DHCP Server running on the NG Firewall server.

Note: The DHCP configuration for each interface is handled in the configuration of that interface in Config > Network > Interfaces. This page handles the global DHCP configuration.

Static DHCP Entries

This table contains any static DHCP leases. Entries in this table will always be given the same DHCP lease with the configured address. For example if MAC Address = aa:bb:cc:00:11:22' and Address = 192.168.1.100 then when the machine with aa:bb:cc:00:11:22 request a DHCP lease it will always be given 192.168.1.100.

Current DHCP Leases

This shows the current table of active DHCP leases and their expiration time.
