DHCP-related Improvements in the Web-based Manager
A number of improvements have been made in the web-based manager, relating to DHCP:
• A DHCP Server column has been added to the interface list that shows which interfaces have been enabled as a DHCP server and the assigned IP range.
• The DHCP Client List has been improved by adding device icons and changing the Expires column to show the amount of time left on the DHCP lease.
• New addressing modes have been added to support IPv6 and PPPOE. The option for IPv6 will only appear if it has been enabled in the web-based manager, while PPPOE options only appear if IPv4 addressing is set to PPPOE as well.
• Options have been added to DHCP Monitor, allowing DCCP leases to be revoked and IP reservations to be added or edited.
• Advanced DHCP configuration can now be done through the web-based manager. To enable this feature, the following syntax must be used in the CLI:
config system global
set gui-dhcp-advanced enable
end
After this has been enabled, an Advanced menu can be expanded when configuring DCHP on a network interface.
