That's what I had figured, but the type of dynamic under the lease item threw me off. Seems that they would list it differently. Thanks for the reply. I'll give you the points as long as nobody else has more detailed info today.

Hi all,<br />
<br />
I have a Sonicwall NSA 2400 deployed that has a DHCP range of x.x.x.30 through x.x.x.49. WIthin that range on the network we have a fax server that utilizes x.x.x.47 as a static address. On the Sonicwall, it's showing that address as an active dynamic DHCP lease, even though the address is still directing to the fax server (nothing else is overcoming that IP). <br />
<br />
Why is the Sonicwall behaving like this? That address shouldn't even be in the DHCP lease list.

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an auto configuration protocol used on IP networks and an extension of the Bootstrap Protocol. DHCP allows for computers to be configured automatically to communicate with each other over an IP network without the need for manual setup by a network administrator. The implementation of DHCP relies on a DHCP server to hand out network configuration information to DHCP-capable clients that request an IP address (and other information required or useful in communicating with other devices on an IP network). In addition to an IP address, common configuration information served over DHCP includes a default gateway, subnet mask and DNS sever(s).
