The Hosts<\/strong> page searches DHCP reservations and active leases. It can show related DHCP log lines and delete stale leases when needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open the Hosts page<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Sign in to Powercode Link.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Select Hosts<\/strong> in the page selector.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    You need observability access to search hosts. Deleting leases requires configuration\/write access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Search for a host<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Hosts are loaded only after you submit a search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Enter a search value in the search box. You can search by:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • IP address<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • MAC address<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • client ID or DUID<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • hostname<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • subnet<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • reservation identifier<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Select Search<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          The page shows counts for matching Reservations<\/strong> and Leases<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Use Refresh results<\/strong> to rerun the current search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Review reservations and leases<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          Search results are split into two tables:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          • Reservations<\/strong>: configured host reservations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Leases<\/strong>: current DHCP leases.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            Each row shows the server, address, subnet, identifier, hostname, status, and available actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Select a row to open details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Read host details<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            The details panel shows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            • DHCP server (v4<\/code> or v6<\/code>).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Address or addresses.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Subnet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Identifier and identifier type.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Decoded flex-id when available.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Hostname.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Lease type\/state and expiration for leases.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Related DHCP log lines.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Raw DHCP server object.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              Related logs are searched by address, MAC\/client identifier, and hostname against the matching DHCP log.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Delete a lease<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

              If a stale or incorrect lease must be removed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              1. Search for the host.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              2. Find the lease in the Leases<\/strong> table.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              3. Select Delete<\/strong> on the row, or select the row and then select Delete lease<\/strong> in the details panel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              4. Confirm the browser prompt.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                \n

                Caution:<\/strong> Deleting a lease removes it from the DHCP server. The client may request a lease again. Do this only when you intend to clear the current lease state.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

                Reservations cannot be deleted from this page; reservation rows show Logs only<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Troubleshooting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                • If no results appear, try a shorter search term, confirm the server (v4<\/code>\/v6<\/code>), or verify the host currently has a reservation or lease.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • If related logs are empty, the log tail window may not include the event anymore.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • If delete fails, confirm you have the required access and that the DHCP server is reachable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
