DHCP Lease Parser Home
What does it do?
Lease Parser is a means to save lease states from an
ISC DHCP
server to a
MySQL
database so that it is possible to tell which MAC address owned what IP at a
particular time. This way, if you need to track down a DHCP user for any
reason (an abuse complaint for actions 2 weeks previous for example), you can
simply search the database via the web form for the IP during the time in
question. Then, search on the MAC address you obtained to see if the system is
still on the network and what it's current IP is.
Lease Parser Features:
