Why doesn't the router display static IPs?
« on: April 25, 2008, 03:54:41 AM »

Is there anyway to get this router to show IPs that are assigned by a DHCP server? When I view attched devices it shows none, this seems odd to me that it does not show the attched devices.

You topic question and message question don't match up.  All the addresses handed out by DHCP can be seen at the bottom of the Status tab, Device info page.

As for static addresses if the router didn't hand out the address to a machine then it wouldn't know about it being out there.  It doesn't automatically search out all machines on a network, it just supplies IP addresses to those that request one.

Hi,

But yes, it would be nice if the router status page DID show all devices connected at any given moment whether DHCP or Static IP assigned.... Many other routers have this menu item....

They're using an implemetation of UPnP that our SDk doesn't support
I can ask for those features to be added to our upcoming models.

Thanks for looking into this, it would be great to see. In the past the routers I have had did display all the IPS and MAC addresses that connect to the router on the network, I have found this to be usefull.

Support that point entirely. Seems reasonable that there should be one place to see all devices connected, DHCP or fixed.

Any chance this could show up in later firmware?

Actually I also had already missed this feature many times. It's a bit frustrating not to be able to see all the devices on the network.

I think you guys are looking for an "ARP Table" view. Every switch stores all mac <-> ip relations in a table, so that traffic can be controlled efficiently. If dlink could simply show everything in the switch's arp table in the status view that'd be a nice touch.

Keep in mind, with this solution, a device would have to communicate with the switch at least once to register in the arp table.

Please understand that the SDK does not support that feature or can it. It may be possible in later firmwares, but as it stands now it's impossible.
Not to mention that you are referring to a HOME CLASS device, not a high end business class router.

Like the lowly, homely, ancient HOME CLASS Netgear FR114P?

And if I recall...this was part of the DLink DI-614+ Router also.

Again, the current SDK does not support ARP snooping or broadcast ping. I'm sorry of other models and/or mfgs. do but this currently does not.
