As of LCOS version 8.80, the LANmonitor menu item DHCP server displays the connection status of the individual DHCP clients by the color of the corresponding device icon.
- A blue icon shows DHCP clients which are active in the network.
- A gray icon shows DHCP clients which are not currently active in the network (e.g. switched off or disconnected), but which still have a valid DHCP assignment.
Note: DHCP clients for some operating systems such as Android do not submit a device name. In this case, LANmonitor displays the MAC address of the DHCP client only. This behavior may be undesirable with a large number of clients. To display a device name in these cases, enter the MAC address of the DHCP client with the desired device name into the BOOTP table on the DHCP server.
