IPv4 Status Fields
Field Description
IP Type Displays the IP type for the current profile: DHCP or Static. If the IP type is DHCP, leased
IP address and network address data appear for the mobile computer. If the IP type is
Static, the values displayed were input manually in the
IP Config tab on page 4-19.
IP Address Displays the mobile computer’s IP address. The Internet is a collection of networks with
users that communicate with each other. Each communication carries the address of the
source and destination networks and the particular machine within the network associated
with the user or host computer at each end. This address is called the IP address. Each
node on the IP network must be assigned a unique IP address that is made up of a
network identifier and a host identifier. The IP address as a dotted-decimal notation with
the decimal value of each octet separated by a period, for example, 192.168.7.27.
Subnet Displays the subnet address. Most TCP/IP networks use subnets to manage routed IP
addresses. Dividing an organization's network into subnets allows it to connect to the
Internet with a single shared network address, for example, 255.255.255.0.
Gateway Displays the gateway address. A gateway forwards IP packets to and from a remote
destination.
DCHP Server The Domain Name System (DNS) is a distributed Internet directory service. DNS
translates domain names and IP addresses, and controls Internet e-mail delivery. Most
Internet services require DNS to operate properly. If DNS is not configured, Web sites
cannot be located or e-mail delivery fails.
Lease Obtained Displays the date that the IP address was obtained.
Lease Expires Displays the date that the IP address expires and a new IP address is requested.
