Active Leases: A list of devices that have been provided DHCP leases. The DHCP Server automatically assigns these
leases. This list will not include any devices that have static IP addresses on the network.
Reservations: This option lets you reserve IP addresses and assign the same IP address to the network device with the
specified MAC address any time it requests an IP address. This is almost the same as when a device has a static IP
address except that the device must still request an IP address from the router. The router will provide the device the
same IP address every time. DHCP Reservations are helpful for server computers on the local network that are hosting
applications such as Web and FTP. Servers on your network should either use a static IP address or use a reservation.
While you have the option to manually input the information to reserve an IP address (Hostname, Hardware Addr, IP
Addr), it is much simpler to select a device under the
Active Leases section and click ―Reserve.‖ The selected device‘s
information will automatically be added under
Reservations.
