Historical DHCP lease records complement the real-time DHCP lease viewer by allowing the appliance to store and correlate DHCP lease information over the lifetime of a lease. You can see critical information such as when the appliance issued or freed an IPv4 or IPv6 address, the MAC address or DUID and host name of the device that received the IP address, the Grid member that supplied the lease, and the start and end dates of the lease.
You can view current leases and lease history in the Data Management -> DHCP -> Leases tab in Grid Manager. To view lease history, you must first enable lease logging at the Grid level. For information, see Configuring DHCP Logging on page 1152 and Configuring the Lease Logging Member. You can also export the DHCP lease history log in CSV format for archival and reporting purposes.
In the Leases tab, you can do the following:
- View current leases. For information, see Viewing Current Leases2.
- View detailed information about a specific lease. For information, see Viewing Detailed Lease Information onpage 1304.
- View historical lease records. For information, Viewing Lease History.
