What about doing a ping back to the device rather than using ARP ? Then you can use the live/dead terminology instead? i.e. do a ping on a static lease to determine actual status client status? I would rather know if the device is up rather than whether it has requested/renewed its lease?

Even the one for the machine you are connecting to the admin interface from? The "online/offline" comes directly from the ARP cache of the firewall - online really just means it's active, but active was already taken (and I couldn't come up with a better name for what active did). If someone can come up with better wording for the 'active' lease, which is just a lease that isn't expired (ie. someone actually has a valid lease on it), then I'll change the online/offline text to active/inactive (which really makes more sense for what it's checking). --Bill --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
